Eight Palestinians were killed and 17 wounded in the Gaza Strip over the past 24 hours as Israeli forces continued military operations, the Palestinian Health Ministry reported. The ministry stated that some victims remain trapped under rubble and on roadsides, with emergency teams unable to reach them.
The latest figures bring the death toll since a ceasefire took effect on October 11, 2025, to 1,084, with 3,491 people wounded and 799 bodies recovered during that period. Since the start of the Israeli war in Gaza in October 2023, the ministry has recorded 73,110 people killed and 173,599 wounded.
Among those killed was truck driver Ahmad Nasser Islim, who died by Israeli fire in the al-Mawasi area of Rafah. A child, Fadi Abdullah al-Deiri, died of wounds sustained from an earlier Israeli shelling of a civilian vehicle in the al-Sabra neighborhood south of Gaza City.
The United Nations criticized Israel's ban on food, fuel, electricity, and other humanitarian aid entering Gaza, noting that it is reversing progress in supplying hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric reported that fuel for backup generators is running low, cooking gas prices are rising, and distribution of essential materials has been disrupted, with UNICEF warning that severe water shortages have reached critical levels.
