Palestinian Health Ministry: 17 killed in Gaza over past 48 hours
Gaza’s Health Ministry reports 17 Palestinians killed and 27 injured in the past 48 hours, as Israeli strikes continue to target civilian areas.
The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza reported on Saturday that 17 Palestinians were killed and 27 others injured over the past 48 hours amid ongoing Israeli airstrikes targeting civilian areas. The casualties include five new deaths, one person who died from previous injuries, and 11 whose bodies were found. Since the ceasefire began, the total number of injuries has reached 4,464, with 815 bodies recovered.
Emergency and civil defense teams are struggling to reach victims trapped under rubble or in the streets. Israeli forces are reported to be persistently violating the ceasefire agreement, conducting airstrikes and artillery shelling on camps and areas housing displaced civilians. The ministry's cumulative statistics show that the death toll since the Israeli offensive on Gaza began on October 7, 2023, has risen to 73,651, with 174,575 injuries.
Additionally, 160 deaths were recently added to the cumulative total after verification and approval by the Martyrs Accreditation Committee in August.
