Gaza Herald – The Health Ministry in Gaza said Saturday that Israel’s ongoing genocide and repeated violations of the ceasefire have killed 367 Palestinians and injured 953 since the agreement took effect on October 10, with rescue teams continuing to pull bodies from beneath the rubble in areas heavily bombed before the truce.
In the past 48 hours alone, six Palestinians were confirmed killed, including one newly killed and five whose bodies were recovered, alongside 15 additional injuries. Authorities say Israeli forces continue to fire on civilians and strike residential areas across the Strip, obstructing medical access and complicating recovery efforts.
The ministry reported that 624 bodies have been recovered since the ceasefire began, while thousands more remain beneath collapsed homes due to Israel’s destruction of entire neighborhoods and its ongoing ban on heavy rescue equipment. The total death toll of Israel’s assault since October 2023 has now reached 70,354 killed and 171,030 injured, overwhelmingly women and children.
Officials warn that many victims remain unrecovered because ambulance crews cannot reach them amid massive destruction and shortages of essential equipment. United Nations estimates place the cost of rebuilding Gaza’s obliterated infrastructure at around $70 billion.
The Health Ministry said Israel continues to violate the ceasefire not only through shelling and shootings, but also by blocking adequate food and medicine from entering the besieged Strip, leaving 2.4 million Palestinians living in conditions it described as “catastrophic.”
