The Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip reported on Sunday that 166 Palestinians were killed and 384 others injured in the last 24 hours due to the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza. 

The ministry's statement indicated a significant increase in casualties, with the death toll reaching 20,424 and the injury count at 54,036 since the offensive began on October 7th.

The Government Media Office in Gaza disclosed on Sunday that the Israeli army instructed residents of 8 neighborhoods in the central governorate to evacuate to the area of Deir al-Balah. 

Within 48 hours of this notice, the Israeli forces committed 5 massacres in Deir al-Balah, resulting in 28 deaths and 88 injuries.

The Media Office emphasized that the Israeli military deliberately misleads civilians, mostly children and women, to inflict maximum human loss and casualties, constituting a double war crime. 

The first crime is the forced displacement of civilians from their homes, and the second is their deliberate and direct targeting.

The office urged the Palestinian people to remain cautious and vigilant against the Israeli tactics aimed at maximizing civilian casualties. They called for awareness of these conspiracies and misinformation campaigns.

The statement also appealed to all free world countries and international organizations to pressure Israel to stop the genocide against civilians, children, and women in the Gaza Strip. 

The United States and the international community, along with the Israeli occupation, are held responsible for these genocidal crimes, which contravene international law and global legal standards.
