Death Toll in Gaza Reaches 63,557 with Injuries Surpassing 160,660 Amid Ongoing Israeli Aggression
The death toll from the ongoing Israeli military aggression in the Gaza Strip has now reached 63,557, with injuries totaling 160,660 since the conflict began on October 7, 2023, according to Gaza’s Ministry of Health. In the latest 24-hour period, Gaza hospitals received 98 new deaths and 404 injuries, highlighting the severe toll on the population.
Since March 18, when the Israeli occupation violated a ceasefire agreement, the number of martyrs has climbed to 11,426 with 48,619 wounded. Among those killed and wounded in the past 24 hours, 46 died while queuing for aid, and 239 were injured, raising the total of aid-related casualties to 2,294 deaths and 16,839 injuries.
The humanitarian situation is further alarmed by deaths from starvation and malnutrition. In the last 24 hours alone, nine people died from these causes, including three children. This brings the total number of starvation-related deaths to 348, including 127 children.
Hospitals in Gaza continue to face overwhelming pressure amid continued airstrikes, infrastructure damage, and the blockade restricting essential supplies. Many victims remain trapped beneath rubble or in areas inaccessible to rescue teams, complicating efforts to provide timely medical assistance.
