The Ministry of Health in Gaza reported that 22 martyrs were brought to hospitals across the Gaza Strip in the past 24 hours. Among them, 20 bodies were recovered, while two others succumbed to their injuries. Additionally, six people were wounded during the same period.
In its daily statistical update on casualties from the ongoing Israeli assault, the ministry stated that many martyrs remain trapped under rubble or on the streets, with emergency and civil defense teams unable to reach them due to continued attacks and access restrictions. With the latest toll, the total number of Palestinian casualties since October 7, 2023, has risen to 47,540 dead and 111,618 wounded.
I urgently appeal to the authorities of Egypt, Qatar, and the United States, as mediators of the ceasefire, to take decisive action to prevent any further breaches. https://t.co/XRT6A0B98N
