The Palestinian death toll in Gaza has surpassed 54,000 since the outbreak of the conflict between Hamas and Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, Gaza's health authorities said on Tuesday, reported Xinhua.
During the past 24 hours, 79 Palestinians were killed and 163 others injured as a result of Israeli attacks on various areas of the Gaza Strip, the health authorities said in a press statement, noting that the statistics do not include hospitals in the North Gaza Governorate due to the difficulty of accessing them.
The authorities indicated that a number of the dead and injured remain trapped under the rubble of destroyed buildings or on the streets, as ongoing shelling and the absence of safe corridors continue to hinder the efforts of ambulance and civil defense crews.
Since Israel resumed its intensified military campaign on March 18, at least 3,901 Palestinians have been killed and 11,088 others injured, bringing the overall death toll in Gaza since the war began in October 2023 to 54,056, with a total of 123,129 people injured.
The Gaza Strip is suffering from dire humanitarian conditions amid deteriorating security conditions and ongoing military operations, which hinder relief efforts and access to affected populations.
Israel and Hamas reached a ceasefire agreement brokered by Egypt, Qatar, and the United States in January 2025. However, it collapsed two months later when Israeli military operations resumed in the Gaza Strip after the first phase of the agreement ended, without reaching an agreement on the start of its second phase or its extension.
