GAZA,(Palestine Foundation Information Center) The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported on Thursday that 89 Palestinians were martyred and 453 others wounded in the last 24 hours due to Israeli airstrikes and shelling across the Gaza Strip, as the genocide against the enclave enters its 21st month.
Among the martyrs were 10 victims recovered from beneath the rubble of destroyed homes and buildings. The ministry confirmed that the total number of martyrs who were transferred to Gaza hospitals in the past day alone reached 23, along with more than 68 wounded, indicating that many casualties remain trapped in inaccessible areas.
Since March 18, 2025, the ministry has recorded 8,447 Palestinian deaths and 31,457 injuries from Israeli attacks.
Additionally, 279 martyrs were recently added to the official registry following confirmation by a judicial committee tasked with identifying missing persons. This brings the cumulative death toll since October 7, 2023, to 59,587 martyrs and 143,498 wounded, making it one of the deadliest and most destructive assaults on a civilian population in recent history.
The Ministry of Health warned that many victims remain buried under the rubble or stranded on roadways, with ambulance and civil defense crews unable to reach them due to ongoing bombardment and the destruction of critical rescue infrastructure.
Despite repeated international calls for a ceasefire and mounting evidence of war crimes, Israeli occupation forces (IOF) continue to escalate attacks, with entire neighborhoods leveled and Gaza’s healthcare system pushed to the brink of collapse.
