GAZA, July 29 (Xinhua) -- The Palestinian death toll from ongoing Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip has surpassed 60,000, Gaza's health authorities said in a statement on Tuesday.

During the past 24 hours, the Israeli military killed 112 people and wounded 637 others, bringing the total death toll to 60,034 and injuries to 145,870 since the Palestinian-Israeli conflict broke out in early October 2023, it added.

The health authorities said that a number of victims remain under the rubble, as ambulance and civil defense crews are unable to reach them.

On Tuesday alone, at least 30 Palestinians, mostly women and children, were killed in a series of Israeli airstrikes targeting residential homes in the al-Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip, said Al-Awda Hospital in the camp.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Tuesday that its air forces and ground troops had struck dozens of "terror targets" across the Gaza Strip.

Israel has been waging a large-scale war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, following a surprise attack launched by the group on southern Israel. According to Israeli authorities, the attack resulted in the deaths of more than 1,200 people and the abduction of 251 hostages.
