Gaza Death Toll Hikes to 72,939, With 172,927 Injured

The death toll from the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza has risen to 72,939 Palestinians killed and 172,927 injured since October 2023, medical sources in the Gaza Strip announced on Sunday.

Health authorities reported that hospitals across Gaza received one newly killed victim, another who succumbed to previous wounds, and eight injured people over the past 24 hours according to Wafa.

They added that the total number of Palestinians killed since the ceasefire that took effect on October 11, 2025, has reached 930, while injuries have risen to 2,819. A further 781 bodies have also been recovered from different areas of the Strip.

Medical officials noted that a number of victims remain trapped beneath the rubble and in the streets, as ambulance and rescue crews continue to face difficulties reaching them due to ongoing conditions on the ground.

In a separate development, medical sources announced that the operating room at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital has gone out of service after all electrical generators completely stopped functioning.

The sources warned that the generator crisis has reached a critical stage following the shutdown of the hospital’s fourth backup generator.

They explained that the backup generators are severely worn out after operating continuously for more than a year and are no longer capable of meeting the daily needs of the hospital’s vital departments.

According to the sources, dialysis units, neonatal care, intensive care units and laboratory services are now at risk of shutting down as the crisis worsens.
