Rise in the Palestinian death toll in Gaza to 71,271 martyrs and 171,233 injured

The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced on Thursday that the Palestinian death toll from the Israeli genocide since October 2023 has risen to "71,271 martyrs and 171,233 injured".

The ministry added in a statement that hospitals in the sector received during the past 24 hours "two martyrs, one new and the other recovered, in addition to an injury".

The statement did not provide additional details regarding the circumstances of the fall of the killed and the injured, while Israel continues to violate the ceasefire agreement in effect since October 10, 2025, by carrying out bombing operations and shooting towards Palestinians.

Israel has killed 416 Palestinians and injured 1,153 others as part of its violations of the agreement since October 11.

In addition to the victims, the genocide launched by Israel on October 8, 2023, with American support, and which lasted two years, has caused massive destruction affecting 90 percent of the civilian infrastructure in the sector, with reconstruction costs estimated by the United Nations at about 70 billion dollars.
