Hospitals received the bodies of 67 martyrs, including two retrieved from under the rubble, and 320 injuries over 24 hours, the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza announced in its daily report on Monday. Many victims remain trapped beneath debris and along roads, unreachable due to continued bombardment.
Since October 7, 2023, as of September 8, 2025, the death toll of the Israeli genocide in Gaza has surged to 64,522 Palestinians, in addition to 163,096 injured.
Since March 18, 2025, the total toll has risen to 11,976 killed and 51,055 wounded.
Moreover, as the Israeli-made famine ravages Gaza, 14 starved Palestinians were killed and over 85 were injured since early morning while trying to receive aid at designated "aid distribution sites" and were later transported to hospitals, as per the Ministry's report.
The death toll among Palestinians killed while seeking food aid in designated distribution zones has now climbed to 2,430, with more than 17,794 others wounded, according to the report.
Gaza hospitals also recorded six new famine-related deaths, including two children in 24 hours only, bringing the total number of deaths due to hunger and malnutrition to 393, including 140 children.
Israeli genocide ongoing
Medical sources announced Monday that 21 Palestinians were killed since dawn by continuous Israeli fire on the Gaza Strip, as the occupation’s assault intensified across Gaza City and its neighborhoods.
According to medical staff at Al-Shifa Hospital, two Palestinians were killed and several others were wounded when Israeli warplanes struck an apartment near Al-Kanz Mosque in Gaza City’s western al-Rimal neighborhood.
The hospital administration detailed that it had received five bodies and 24 injuries in 24 hours, including six children and four women, following an Israeli strike on a gathering of Palestinians in the “Camp 1” area of al-Nuseirat in central Gaza.
On Gaza’s coast, an Israeli airstrike on a tent sheltering forcibly displaced families killed four Palestinians, including a young girl, and left several others injured.

In the al-Nasr neighborhood, three Palestinians were killed and others were wounded in a strike near the Tamos junction.
In the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood, Israeli strikes on two homes along Ahmad Yassin Street caused further deaths and injuries, with residents still trapped beneath the debris.
Concurrently, invading Israeli units also used booby-trapped robots to destroy homes near the Sheikh Radwan reservoir, while artillery fire pounded the eastern side of the district alongside Israeli quadcopter drone attacks.
Al Mayadeen’s correspondent reported that Israeli occupation forces left behind massive destruction in the al-Zaytoun neighborhood following their withdrawal from the area.
