The death toll in Gaza rises

The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced on Wednesday that the total number of victims of the Israeli aggression on the Strip since October 7, 2023, has reached 63,746 martyrs and 161,245 wounded.

In its daily statistical report, the Ministry stated that 113 martyrs and 304 wounded arrived at hospitals in the Strip during the past 24 hours, noting that the death toll from the aggression since the resumption of military operations on March 18, 2025, has reached 11,615 martyrs and 49,204 wounded.
In a related context, the Director General of the Ministry of Health, Munir al-Barsh, stated that the military operation launched by the occupation army in Gaza City on August 13 has so far resulted in the martyrdom of more than 1,100 Palestinians and the injury of more than 6,008 others.

Al-Barsh explained, in a post on the “X” platform, that the operation, which entered its twentieth day, began in Jabalia al-Balad and al-Nazla in the north, expanded toward the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood northwest of the city, reaching the al-Zeitoun and al-Sabra neighborhoods in the east, and ended near alahli alarabi Hospital in the city center.

He pointed out that the bombing caused widespread destruction, including thousands of homes and buildings, in addition to targeting medical centers, including the Sheikh Radwan clinic, and destroying ambulances, disrupting relief and rescue operations for the wounded.

He also noted the mass displacement of thousands of families facing dire humanitarian conditions amid severe shortages of food and medicine.
