The Ministry of Health in Gaza announced on Wednesday that 58 Palestinians were martyred, including two whose bodies were retrieved from under the rubble, and 185 others were injured in the past 24 hours as a result of ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.
The total number of victims since the start of the aggression on October 7, 2023, has risen to 62,122 martyrs and 156,758 injured. The toll, since March 18, 2025, reached 10,576 martyrs and 44,717 injured.
Among the victims in the past 24 hours were 22 martyred and 49 wounded while trying to collect humanitarian aid. This raises the total number of aid martyrs to 2,018 martyrs and over 14,947 injured.
Hospitals in Gaza also recorded three new deaths from famine and malnutrition in the past 24 hours, bringing the total to 269 deaths, including 112 children.
Medical sources in the Gaza Strip reported that at least 20 Palestinians have been martyred since dawn Wednesday, as Israeli warplanes intensified bombardment across the Strip.
In Gaza City, six members of the al-Masri family were killed when their home was struck in what Al Mayadeen's correspondent described as a massacre. Heavy shelling continues in the al-Zaytoun neighborhood in the city's southeast, where the occupation has also stepped up the demolition of residential buildings in al-Sabra and al-Zaytoun.
Strikes also claimed nine lives in central Gaza. One Palestinian was martyred and others were injured in raids on homes, while eight more were killed when Israeli forces targeted Palestinians waiting for humanitarian aid in the northern part of al-Nuseirat refugee camp. In southern Gaza, 21 Palestinians were injured after displaced persons' tents were hit in al-Mawasi, Khan Younis.
