The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced on Sunday that the death toll from the Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip since October 2023 has risen to "69,756 martyrs and 170,946 injured."
The genocide, which lasted for two years, ended with a ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel that came into effect on October 10, 2025.
The ministry stated in a daily statistical report that hospitals in the sector received approximately "23 martyrs in the past 24 hours, including 21 new martyrs and 2 recovered from under the rubble, along with 83 injured."
The ministry did not clarify the circumstances of the new casualties and injuries, but Israel continues to violate the ceasefire agreement by bombing civilian areas in various parts of the sector, in addition to firing at civilians.
The ministry's statement reported that Israel has killed 339 Palestinians and injured 871 others since October 11, as part of its violations of the agreement.
It confirmed the presence of victims under the rubble of destroyed homes and in the streets, where rescue and civil defense teams are unable to reach them to recover them.
Alongside the repeated violations, Israel is evading its commitments outlined in the ceasefire agreement, including allowing the entry of hundreds of heavy machinery needed to remove tons of rubble to recover the bodies of Palestinians buried under the debris.
At the same time, Tel Aviv is hastening to recover the bodies of its remaining captives in Gaza, allowing limited equipment to enter for this purpose.
The office estimates that there are about 9,500 missing Palestinians, either under the rubble or whose fate remains unknown due to the Israeli genocide.
In addition to the casualties, the genocide war has caused immense destruction affecting 90 percent of the civil infrastructure in the sector, leaving 70 million tons of rubble.
Israel continues to violate the ceasefire agreement by bombing civilian areas in Gaza.
