Gaza: The casualty toll from the Israeli offensive on the Gaza Strip has risen to 70,937 killed and 171,192 injured.

According to Qatar News Agency, the Gaza Ministry of Health reported in its daily statistical update that 12 bodies arrived at hospitals in the Gaza Strip, which included four new fatalities and eight recovered from under the rubble, alongside seven injuries within the past 48 hours.

The report highlighted ongoing challenges, noting that a number of victims remain trapped under the rubble and in the streets, as ambulance and civil defense teams have been unable to reach them.

The Ministry further clarified that the total number of martyrs since the ceasefire on October 11th has reached 405, with 1,115 injuries.

Additionally, it was noted that four citizens died as a result of a building collapse, bringing the total number of victims of building collapses caused by the recent storm to 15.

The ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel took effect on October 11th, following the withdrawal of the Israeli army from populated areas and military sites in the Gaza Strip. This also marked the beginning of the return of displaced persons to the northern part of the Strip, as part of the first phase of US President Donald Trump's initiative to end the war on Gaza.
