Gaza: The death toll from the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip has surged to 61,827 civilians, according to medical sources.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, the total death toll in the Gaza Strip has climbed to 61,827, predominantly women and children, with casualties reaching 155,275 since the onset of the aggression on October 7, 2023. Following Israel's unilateral termination of the Gaza ceasefire agreement and the resumption of its offensive on March 18, the conflict has resulted in 10,300 deaths and 43,234 injuries.
In the past 24 hours, the bodies of 54 Palestinians, including four retrieved from rubble, along with 831 casualties, have been admitted to Gaza hospitals. Additionally, a female child succumbed to starvation, raising the total number of starvation and malnutrition-related deaths to 240, including 107 children.
Among the 54 Palestinians killed in the last 24 hours, 17 fatalities and 250 casualties were aid seekers. This brings the total number of slain and injured aid seekers admitted to hospitals to 1,898 and over 14,113, respectively. Furthermore, at least 10,000 individuals remain unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble of their homes.
The Israeli offensive has led to the displacement of nearly two million people from various parts of the Gaza Strip, with the majority forced into the southern city of Rafah near the Egyptian border. This displacement marks Palestine's largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.
