According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, the death toll since the ceasefire began on October 11, 2025, has risen to 1,041 Palestinians, with 3,372 others injured. The ministry also reported that 786 bodies have been recovered during the same period.
The ministry said three bodies and 43 wounded people were brought to hospitals across Gaza over the past 24 hours.
It added that the overall death toll since the start of the war on 7th October 2023, has reached 73,054, with 173,480 people injured.
Health officials said a number of victims remain trapped beneath collapsed buildings or in areas inaccessible to ambulance and civil defence crews.

According to local reports, Israeli forces demolished residential buildings near Al-Batsh Cemetery, east of the Al-Tuffah neighbourhood in Gaza City, and destroyed surrounding civilian infrastructure.
Witnesses also reported that Israeli drones opened fire near Al-Hashimiya School in northeastern Gaza City.
In southern Gaza, Israeli military vehicles reportedly fired towards eastern areas of Khan Younis, damaging tents sheltering displaced families as well as nearby homes.
Similar shelling was reported west of Rafah, while gunfire was also reported northeast of Al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza.
The Israeli military has not immediately commented on the reported incidents.
The ceasefire, brokered through Arab and US mediation in October 2025, has remained in place despite repeated reports from both sides alleging violations.
