The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced on Saturday that the death toll from Israel's genocidal war has risen to "53,901 dead and 122,593 wounded" since October 7, 2023.
This came in the "Daily Statistical Report on the Number of deaths and Wounded as a ¹Result of the Israeli Aggression on the Gaza Strip," issued by the Ministry.
The ministry said, "79 dead (including 5 recovered) and 211 injuries arrived at Gaza Strip hospitals over the past 24 hours," as a result of the ongoing Israeli airstrikes.
The ministry stated that these statistics do not include "hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip governorate due to the difficulty of accessing them."
It explained that "the death toll and injuries since (Israel resumed its genocide) on March 18, 2025 has reached 3,747 dead and 10,552 injured."
Accordingly, the Ministry announced that "the death toll from the Israeli aggression has risen to 53,901 dead and 122,593 wounded since October 7, 2023."
It pointed out that "a number of victims are still under the rubble and on the streets, and ambulance and civil defense crews cannot reach them."
In early March, the first phase of a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement between Hamas and Israel concluded. The agreement, which went into effect on January 19, 2025, was brokered by Egypt and Qatar and supervised by the United States.
While Hamas has adhered to the terms of the first phase, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court, has reneged on the start of the second phase in deference to extremists in his ruling coalition, according to Hebrew media.
Since March 18, the Israeli occupation has resumed its genocidal crimes by launching violent, widespread airstrikes, most of which targeted civilians in homes and tents housing displaced Palestinians.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with full American support, has been committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, coupled with a stifling blockade that has plunged the Strip into unprecedentedly dire humanitarian conditions.
