Medical authorities in the Gaza Strip announced on Saturday that the number of martyrs has risen to 72,123, with 171,805 people injured since the start of the 'Israeli' aggression on October 7, 2023.
These staggering figures highlight the ongoing humanitarian crisis, with the health system facing enormous challenges in documenting all missing persons.
Post-ceasefire context
The announcement comes as Gaza attempts to recover following the ceasefire that took effect on October 11. Despite the official halt to military operations, field reports indicate an additional 640 martyrs and 1,707 new injuries since the ceasefire.
Civil defense teams have also worked tirelessly, recovering 753 bodies from under the rubble of buildings destroyed by intensive bombing.
Recent developments and rescue challenges
Over the past 24 hours, medical sources confirmed the arrival of three martyrs and three injured individuals at hospitals.
Although relative calm has returned, the tragedy remains visible in the streets and under collapsed buildings, where unconfirmed numbers of victims are still inaccessible to rescue teams due to dangerous conditions and lack of technical equipment to remove heavy debris.
