Over the past 24 hours, Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip resulted in at least four Palestinian fatalities and 17 injuries, according to Gaza’s health ministry. One victim succumbed to injuries sustained earlier, while the remaining bodies were found amidst the wreckage of collapsed structures. This brings the cumulative death toll of Palestinians since October 7, 2023, to 73,914, with over 174,952 others reported wounded.
Despite the ceasefire, the health ministry has documented 1,394 deaths and recovered 834 bodies since the truce went into effect. Rescue teams face significant challenges due to Israel's blockade on heavy machinery, preventing them from accessing trapped victims beneath the rubble. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reports that continued Israeli air strikes and attacks continue to claim lives and cause damage in residential areas, while the ongoing shortage of essential medical supplies and restrictions on humanitarian access exacerbate the strain on Gaza's healthcare infrastructure.
