Gaza’s Death Toll Spirals to Over 72,000

Gaza’s Ministry of Health announced on Tuesday that 10 Palestinians were killed in the past 24 hours, raising the death toll from the Israeli war the Strip since October 2023 to 72,312.

Hospitals in the Gaza Strip received “10 new martyrs and 44 wounded” in the past 24 hours, the ministry explained whilst refraining from specifying the circumstances of the new casualties. However the Israeli army daily violates the ceasefire agreement in effect since October 10, 2025, through shelling and gunfire, resulting in deaths and injuries.

On Monday, medical sources told Anadolu Agency that 10 Palestinians were killed and others wounded in shelling and gunfire from Israeli drones targeting a gathering of civilians east of the Maghazi refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip.

In this context, the ministry stated that the death toll from Israeli violations of the agreement has risen since October 11 to “733 martyrs and 2,034 wounded.”

The Turkish news agency noted that the cumulative death toll from the Israeli offensive since October 2023 has thus risen to 72,312 martyrs and 172,134 wounded.

The agreement was reached two years after a genocidal war launched by Israel on October 8, 2023, with US support, which left behind massive destruction affecting 90 percent of civilian infrastructure, with the UN estimating reconstruction costs at approximately $70 billion. Anadolu
