Casualty Figures Rise Following Gaza Ceasefire
According to the Ministry of Health, the death toll in Gaza has continued to increase since the commencement of the ceasefire. As of today, the Ministry reports nearly 1,000 individuals have been killed since the beginning of the period, alongside five Israeli soldiers. The Ministry’s data indicates a total of 73,001 fatalities have occurred since the start of the conflict on October 7, 2023.
Furthermore, more than 173,200 people have sustained injuries since the beginning of the fighting in Gaza. This figure represents a significant number of casualties within the region. The Ministry of Health, operating under the Hamas government, is responsible for collecting and documenting medical records.
UN agencies and independent experts generally consider these records reliable. However, it’s important to note that the Ministry does not provide a breakdown of casualties by civilian versus combatant. The ongoing situation in Gaza remains a focal point of international concern, with continued efforts focused on humanitarian aid and the stabilization of the region since the beginning of the conflict.
