The Palestinian death toll in the Gaza Strip has surpassed 73,000, with over 174,000 injured since the conflict began in October 2023, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. Despite a fragile ceasefire, Israeli strikes continue, resulting in further casualties and widespread destruction of infrastructure. The ministry reports that nearly 1,000 people have been killed and over 3,000 wounded since the truce began, while five Israeli soldiers have also died. Recent strikes have targeted areas like the Jabaliya refugee camp, causing multiple fatalities. The ongoing conflict has devastated approximately 90 percent of Gaza's civilian infrastructure, leading to severe humanitarian shortages.
