It said hospitals received the bodies of 70 Palestinians killed in the past 24 hours, including eight recovered from under rubble and other locations across Gaza. At least 26 people were killed and 175 injured while seeking aid during the same period.
A total of 1,924 Palestinians have now been confirmed killed and 14,288 wounded while trying to access aid.
Since 18 March, when Israel broke the ceasefire and imposed a full blockade with heavy air strikes, at least 10,362 people have been killed and 43,619 wounded, according to the ministry.
