The number of Palestinians killed in the Gaza Strip since October 2023 has surpassed 65,000, according to Gaza-based health authorities.
Officials report that the death toll has reached 65,062, with 165,697 others injured since the start of the conflict.
In the past 24 hours alone, hospitals received 98 bodies and 385 wounded, including seven aid workers killed and 87 injured.
Meanwhile, Israeli tanks and military vehicles advanced into a major residential district of Gaza City, marking the second day of a ground offensive aimed at occupying the area.
Israel says the operation is intended to rescue hostages held by Hamas and defeat up to 3,000 fighters in what it calls the group’s “last stronghold.” The campaign has drawn widespread international condemnation.
More than 20 humanitarian organizations, including Save the Children and Oxfam, issued a joint statement calling the situation in Gaza “unconscionable.”
The Israel Defence Forces said Tuesday that approximately 350,000 people have fled Gaza City. The United Nations estimates 190,000 have been displaced since August, with at least 650,000 residents remaining in the city.
