Gaza: The death toll from the Israeli offensive on Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023 has risen to at least 71,266, with 171,222 others injured, according to the Gaza health ministry.
According to Qatar News Agency, the ministry's daily statistical report indicated that one person was killed and three others wounded over the past 48 hours, with casualties continuing to arrive at hospitals across the territory.
The report further stated that since a ceasefire came into effect on October 10, at least 414 people have been killed and 1,145 injured. Health officials mentioned that 680 bodies had been recovered from under the rubble during that period.
However, they cautioned that an unknown number of victims remain trapped beneath collapsed buildings or lying in streets, as ambulance and civil defence crews are still unable to reach some areas.
Separately, the ministry noted the death of a man after a building collapsed due to severe weather conditions affecting the enclave, bringing the total number of storm-related deaths recorded in hospitals to 17.
