Hospitals received the bodies of 41 martyrs, including two retrieved from under the rubble, and 184 injuries in 24 hours, the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza announced in its daily report on Wednesday. Many victims remain trapped beneath debris and along roads, unreachable due to continued bombardment.
Since October 7, 2023, as of September 10, 2025, the death toll of the Israeli genocide in Gaza has surged to 64,656 Palestinians, in addition to 163,503 injured.
Since March 18, 2025, the total toll has risen to 12,098 killed and 51,462 wounded.
Moreover, as the Israeli-made famine ravages Gaza, 12 starved Palestinians were killed and over 30 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 2,456, with more than 17,861 others wounded, according to the report.
The report added that the death toll from starvation and malnutrition in the besieged Strip, with the death of five Palestinians, including one child, has risen to at least 404, among them 141 children.
Gaza gov warns of forced displacement as 1.2 million remain in north
The Government Media Office in Gaza announced on Tuesday that more than 1.2 million Palestinians remain in Gaza City and the northern parts of the Strip, firmly refusing to leave despite ongoing bombardment and deteriorating humanitarian conditions.
It warned that the Israeli occupation is attempting to impose a policy of forced displacement in violation of international law, calling for urgent international intervention.
According to the statement, Gaza City and northern Gaza together are home to over 1.3 million people, including around 398,000 in North Gaza governorate, most of whom are currently displaced to the western parts of the city, and more than 914,000 in Gaza governorate, where some 300,000 have been forced from eastern neighborhoods toward western and central areas.
Reverse displacement amid dire conditions
The office noted the emergence of “reverse displacement,” reporting that more than 12,000 residents have returned to their original homes in Gaza and the north as of last Sunday, despite the fact that some 35,000 people had previously been forced to move south under heavy bombardment. This, it said, reflects both the severity of the suffering and the lack of basic living conditions in the southern areas.
It highlighted that the al-Mawasi area in Khan Younis and Rafah, promoted by the Israeli occupation as a “safe zone”, currently hosts nearly 800,000 people but has been targeted by 109 airstrikes, killing more than 2,000 Palestinians. The area, the statement added, lacks essential services including hospitals, infrastructure, electricity, water, food, and shelter.
The Government Media Office stressed that the areas designated by the occupation as “shelters” cover just 12% of Gaza’s total land, while more than 1.7 million Palestinians are being crammed into them in a systematic attempt to empty Gaza City and the north of their population. It described the policy as a war crime, a crime against humanity, and a grave violation of international law.
The statement condemned what it called “ongoing genocide and forced displacement crimes” perpetrated by the Israeli occupation against Palestinian civilians. It held the occupation, along with the US administration and allied states, fully responsible for these violations.
The office further urged the international community, the United Nations, and legal institutions worldwide to take immediate and effective action to stop these crimes, prosecute Israeli leaders before competent courts, and guarantee the protection of Palestinian civilians and their right to remain on their land in safety and dignity.
