The death toll from the conflict in Gaza has surpassed 73,000, with over 173,200 people wounded since October 2023, according to medical sources cited by the Palestinian news agency Wafa and Gaza's Health Ministry. Over the past 24 hours, hospitals received five Palestinian bodies and treated eight wounded individuals. Since a ceasefire went into effect on October 11, 2025, nearly 1,000 Palestinians have been killed and over 3,100 injured, with hundreds of bodies recovered from beneath rubble.
Rescue efforts continue to face significant obstacles in reaching victims trapped under collapsed buildings, with many remaining inaccessible to emergency crews. The Israeli military states it is targeting Hamas and other militants, and has conducted strikes in response to ceasefire violations. An Israeli strike on Sunday afternoon in the Jabaliya refugee camp killed at least four people, with the military confirming it struck terrorists in the area. A 13-year-old boy was among five Palestinians killed Saturday night into Sunday.
Despite the ongoing military operations, a ceasefire brokered by the U.S. remains in effect, though stalled. Both sides accuse each other of violating the agreement. Progress on reconstruction, Israeli troop withdrawals, and the establishment of a new Palestinian government is reportedly held up by deadlock over disarming Hamas, according to Nickolay Mladenov, the diplomat overseeing the ceasefire.
