The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip has issued a new statistical report revealing the immense human losses since the outbreak of the aggression on October 7, 2023. The ministry confirmed that the cumulative toll of martyrs has risen to 73,283 martyrs, whose data has been officially documented in the records of medical facilities. The data also indicated that the number of injured and wounded reached 173,864 injuries, with varying degrees of severity between critical and moderate cases.
Regarding field developments in recent hours, medical sources reported the arrival of 3 martyrs and 22 injuries to hospitals in the past 24 hours. These cases were registered immediately upon their arrival at emergency departments in various governorates of the Strip, where medical teams began providing necessary care to the injured and following up on burial procedures for the new martyrs according to established protocols.
The ministerial report addressed the period following the announcement of the ceasefire on October 11, where statistics recorded a continued fall of victims. The number of documented martyrs in this specific period reached 1,158 martyrs, while the number of recorded injuries since that date rose to 3,756 injuries, reflecting the ongoing health and field challenges in the Strip.
Regarding search and rescue operations, the ministry clarified that its specialized teams have managed to carry out 802 cases of retrieving victims from under the rubble or from border areas since October 11. These operations take place under complex logistical conditions and a severe shortage of heavy equipment, yet official documentation continued to ensure the preservation of victims' rights and the verification of their identities in national records.
The Ministry of Health stressed that all announced figures, whether cumulative, which reached 73,283 martyrs, or daily, are subject to a strict auditing mechanism through epidemiological and informational monitoring departments. Data is collected from all governmental and private hospitals and field health centers to ensure the accuracy of the final toll presented to the public and relevant international human rights bodies.
Hospitals in the Gaza Strip face immense pressure amid the continuous influx of wounded, as emergency departments recorded the distribution of the three martyrs and the last 22 injuries within the daily estimates submitted to the Ministry's office. Sources confirm that these numbers represent only what medical teams were able to reach and document within the health system, while there are still numbers under the rubble.
In conclusion, the ministry affirmed its continued updating of this data periodically to reflect the reality of human suffering in the Strip. This statistic, which indicates that injuries have reached 173,864 cases, is evidence of the extent of direct targeting of civilians and infrastructure, requiring urgent international intervention to provide essential medical supplies to exhausted hospitals.
The cumulative number of martyrs since the beginning of the aggression on October 7, 2023, reached 73,283 martyrs, while injuries reached 173,864 cases.
