Hospitals in the Gaza Strip received the remains of 51 Palestinians killed in Israeli air strikes in the past 24 hours, the local Health Ministry said on Sunday, bringing the Palestinian death toll from the 18-month Israel-Hamas war to 52,243.

Israel ended its ceasefire with Hamas by launching a surprise bombardment on March 18, and has been carrying out daily waves of strikes since then.
