Rising Death Toll in Gaza Since October 2023
The killings come after Israeli forces withdrew from the Netzarim Corridor, a strategic strip of land that bisected Gaza from north to south. As of the latest reports, Gaza’s health authorities have confirmed that the death toll from Israeli attacks since October 7, 2023, has reached a staggering 48,189, with more than 111,640 others injured.
In the past 24 hours alone, health authorities reported eight deaths and two injuries, including seven bodies recovered from the rubble. However, authorities warn that many more victims remain trapped under debris in areas difficult to access due to ongoing shelling.
