Gaza Death Toll Reported to Rise Amid Continued Strikes

(MENAFN) In the past 24 hours, further air and ground attacks have reportedly resulted in the deaths of eight Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, even as a ceasefire arrangement remains in place, according to reports.

Health authorities in the territory said the latest casualties bring the overall death toll since October 2023 to 72,988, with an additional 34 people reported injured during the same period.

Officials did not provide detailed accounts of the specific circumstances surrounding the latest fatalities. They also stated that hostilities have continued despite the existence of a ceasefire agreement that came into effect on October 10, 2025, with incidents involving shelling and gunfire still being reported.

Since the ceasefire began, at least 978 additional deaths and 3,097 injuries have reportedly been recorded, according to figures cited by local authorities.

The conflict, which began in October 2023, has resulted in extensive destruction across infrastructure in the region. Estimates cited by United Nations sources suggest that roughly 90% of civilian infrastructure has been affected, with reconstruction costs projected to reach around $70 billion.

The ongoing situation continues to unfold amid repeated reports of violations of the ceasefire terms, according to officials and observers.
