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.

China's Dalian Commodity Exchange (DCE) officially launched coking coal options on Friday, marking a new step in enhancing futures market services for the coal-coke-steel industrial chain and the real economy.
As a fundamental raw material for the steel industry, coking coal plays a vital role in ensuring the steady development of steel and related sectors. The listing of coking coal options signals further improvement in China's derivatives market service system.
"After the listing of coking coal options, these instruments will synergize with the existing coking coal futures, coke futures, and iron ore futures and options. This will further improve the risk management tool system for the coal-coke-steel industrial chain, provide more refined and diverse risk management solutions for enterprises, and safeguard their stable and sound operations," said Hu Gangxu, director of the futures derivatives department of Dalian Commodity Exchange.
China is the world's largest producer and consumer of coking coal. Its prime coking coal output accounts for more than 50 percent of global production, while consumption represents over 60 percent of the world total.
