At least 65,549 people have been killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza since then, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry.

The German food and agriculture ministry told the BBC last year that it had taken note of the Turkish bid "with some astonishment".

A United Nations commission of inquiry found Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, in a report Israel's foreign ministry categorically rejected as "distorted and false".

The Houthi-run government's health ministry denounced what it called Israel's "brutal crime", saying civilian facilities and residential buildings were hit and that eight people were killed.

At least 65,502 Palestinians, about half of them women and children, have been killed by Israeli military action in Gaza since then, according to Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry.
