The Ministry of Health in Gaza has confirmed that 98 Palestinians have been killed and 511 others injured by Israeli gunfire within the last 48 hours, marking one of the deadliest short periods in the ongoing war. Among the dead are individuals who were only recently recovered from beneath the rubble, highlighting the continued difficulty of rescue efforts.
Since the beginning of the Israeli assault on October 7, 2023, Gaza’s total death toll has now surged to 58,765, with 140,485 people injured. The Ministry warned that these numbers may still rise, as many victims remain under collapsed buildings or lying in open streets, unreachable by medical or civil defense teams due to the intensity of the bombardment and lack of access.
From March 18, 2025, until today, the ministry reported 7,938 new deaths and 28,444 injuries, pointing to a particularly violent and destructive phase of the conflict.
The ministry also reported disturbing figures about Palestinians who were killed while simply trying to secure basic necessities. In the last two days alone, 14 people were killed and more than 94 injured while attempting to collect humanitarian aid. This brings the total number of people killed while seeking food or assistance to 891, with over 5,754 others injured in similar incidents since the start of the war.
