At least 59,676 Palestinians have been martyred in Israel’s ongoing war on the Gaza Strip since October 2023, the Gaza Health Ministry reported on Friday.
In the past 24 hours alone, 89 bodies were brought to hospitals, and 467 people were injured, raising the total number of wounded to 143,965. The ministry noted that many victims remain trapped under rubble and in the streets, where rescue teams are unable to reach them due to continued hostilities.
The statement also reported that nine Palestinians were martyred and more than 45 injured while attempting to receive humanitarian aid during the past day. Since May 27, at least 1,092 Palestinians have been martyred and over 7,320 injured while seeking aid.
The Israeli military resumed its offensive on March 18 following a temporary ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement in January. Since then, 8,527 people have been killed and 31,924 injured in renewed attacks.
