The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced, on Saturday, that the death toll from the ongoing Israeli war on the Strip has risen to 40,074 dead and 92,537 wounded, since October 7, 2023.

The ministry said in its statistical report for the 316th day of the war: "The death toll from the Israeli aggression has risen to 40,074 dead and 92,537 injuries since October 7th."
