In the past 24 hours, hospitals in the Gaza Strip have received 47 martyrs, including nine recovered from under the rubble, and 226 wounded. Rescue teams say many victims remain trapped beneath debris and on the streets, unreachable due to ongoing bombardment.
The overall death toll from the Israeli aggression since October 7, 2023, has risen to 61,944 martyrs and 155,886 wounded. Since March 18, 2025, the toll has reached 10,400 martyrs and 43,845 injuries.
Among those killed while seeking aid, 14 more were recorded in the past 24 hours, bringing the total to 1,938 martyrs and more than 14,420 wounded.
Hospitals also reported seven deaths from famine and malnutrition in the past day, including two children. The total now stands at 258 deaths, of which 110 are children.
Earlier today, the Israeli occupation continued its genocidal war in the Gaza Strip with fresh attacks targeting civilians and medical facilities. Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that seven people were killed and several others injured in an attack on the Baptist Hospital in Gaza City.
Our correspondent added that the occupation forces are heavily bombarding the southern areas of Gaza City, with ongoing military operations in the neighborhoods of al-Zaytoun and Tal al-Hawa.
These attacks come as part of the broader assault on central and southern Gaza, where residential areas and vital infrastructure have come under intense bombardment.
In the central Gaza Strip, Al-Awda Hospital announced it had received 20 wounded individuals, including two women.
