      Palestinian death toll in Gaza rises to 51,025: health authorities

      2025-04-17 09:15 Last Updated At:11:07

      The death toll of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip had climbed to 51,025 since the outbreak of the latest round of the Israel-Hamas conflict on Oct. 7, 2023, the Gaza-based health authorities said on Wednesday.

      In a press statement, the health authorities said that 116,432 others have been wounded in the ongoing Israeli military assaults.

      During the past 24 hours, 25 Palestinians were killed and 89 others wounded by Israeli airstrikes and artillery shelling in various areas in the enclave, the health authorities said.

      Since the resumption of Israeli military operations in Gaza on March 18 this year, 1,652 Palestinians have been killed and 4,391 others wounded, it added.

      The Israeli military said Wednesday it is expanding the "Morag Corridor", a new dividing line in the southern Gaza Strip, and has turned roughly a third of the enclave into "security zones" under full Israeli military control.

      An infographic video released by the military showed the "Morag Corridor" running through an area between Rafah and Khan Younis, cutting off Rafah from Khan Younis and central Gaza.

      In the video, Khan Younis, southern Gaza's largest city, appeared almost completely razed, with only a few severely damaged buildings left.

      "As part of the operation, the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) has achieved full operational control over several key areas and routes throughout Gaza. Approximately 30 percent of the strip's territory is now designated as an Operational Security Perimeter," the military said in a statement.

      The military said since March 18, it has carried out airstrikes on about 1,200 targets in Gaza. A total of 11 senior officials from Hamas' political bureau have been killed.

      China and Russia are set to further strengthen subnational cooperation through two key subnational mechanisms, the Yangtze-Volga Local cooperation and the Northeast-Far East cooperation, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said Friday.

      Lin made the remarks at a press conference in Beijing, highlighting the role of the cooperation mechanisms in boosting bilateral economic and cultural ties.

      "Under the strategic guidance of the two head of states, China-Russia relations have been moving forward on a high level and subnational cooperation has been advancing with wider scope and higher quality. The Yangtze-Volga cooperation council and the China-Russia Intergovernmental Commission on Cooperation and Development of Northeast China and the Far East and Baikal Region of Russia, as two major subnational cooperation mechanisms between China and Russia, since their establishment have been operating with high efficiency and played an important role in promoting economic and trade cooperation as well as people-to-people and cultural exchanges between relevant regions of China and Russia in a coordinated manner," Lin said.

      "We believe that under the strategic guidance of the two head of states and with joint effort of both sides, subnational cooperation between China and Russia will continue to grow with vigor and vitality and inject more impetus to our effort of enriching the bilateral relationship, delivering more benefits to the two peoples and boosting our respective development and revitalization," said the spokesman.
