The Hamas-controlled Gaza government reported that more than 400 people have died during Israel’s two-week military operation at the Shifa hospital in the Gaza city, adding to the nearly 32,800 deaths since the start of the war. .
In the last 24 hours, Gaza authorities said that at least 77 people died due to Israeli bombings, bringing the total number of fatalities during the war throughout the Strip to 32,782. It is also estimated that some 7,000 bodies are still trapped under rubble.
For its part, the Gaza Health Ministry, controlled by Hamas, said that 108 people were injured in the last day, bringing the total to 75,298.

Meanwhile, the Israeli military has maintained its military operation inside Shifa hospital for the past two weeks, claiming to have killed around 200 suspected fighters and interrogated 800 suspects, of whom it claims around 500 are members of Hamas and Islamic Jihad. .
Inside the hospital there remain 107 patients “in inhumane conditions, without water, medicine, food or electricity,” including 30 disabled patients and about 60 medical staff, according to the Gaza government.
