Gaza death toll rises to 57,762

Ministry of Health in Gaza announced Wednesday that 82 Palestinians were killed and 247 others injured in the past 24 hours as a result of the ongoing 'Israeli' military assault on the Gaza Strip.

Among the latest casualties were nine Palestinians killed while trying to secure basic necessities, along with over 78 injuries. This brings the total number of those killed while seeking food, water, or aid, referred to as "martyrs of livelihood", to 782, with more than 5,179 injured.

Since the beginning of the war on Oct. 7, 2023, the overall death toll in Gaza has reached 57,762, with 137,656 injuries reported.

The Ministry also reported that between March 18, 2025, and today, at least 7,200 people have been killed and 25,615 injured.

The statement added that many victims remain trapped under rubble or lying in the streets, as emergency and civil defense teams are unable to reach them due to the ongoing bombardment and intense fighting.
