Gaza health ministry: Over 64,000 killed, 163,000 wounded in Israel’s war
The death toll from Israel’s war on Gaza has climbed to 64,522, with at least 163,096 wounded, according to figures released Sunday by Gaza’s Health Ministry.
The ministry said that “at least 65 Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza and 320 others were wounded on Sunday, while two bodies were recovered from the rubble.”
Since March 18, when Gaza broke the ceasefire with Hamas, 11,976 Palestinians have been killed and more than 51,055 injured, the ministry added.
The crisis has also deepened for civilians seeking food and aid. Over the past 24 hours alone, “14 aid seekers were killed and 85 were injured,” the ministry reported, bringing the total toll among those seeking humanitarian supplies to 2,430 killed, at least 17,794 injured, and 49 still missing.
Hospitals in Gaza continue to record growing fatalities linked to starvation. The ministry confirmed that in the last 24 hours, “six new deaths due to famine and malnutrition (including two children)” were documented. This brings the total number of such deaths since the beginning of the war to 393, including 140 children.
The spiralling figures come amid intensifying Israeli attacks that have levelled entire neighbourhoods and left aid delivery routes perilous. Health officials warn that with the collapse of medical infrastructure, soaring malnutrition rates, and restricted humanitarian access, the number of deaths is likely to rise further in the coming days.
