(MENAFN) The death toll in Gaza from Israel’s ongoing military campaign has surged to 72,329, with the arrival of two additional Palestinian bodies at local hospitals, the Health Ministry reported on Sunday. The latest update also revealed that 172,192 individuals have been injured since the conflict began in October 2023.

The bodies included one newly reported death and another recovered from rubble, although no specific details about the circumstances were provided. Alongside this, eight people were reported injured, further exacerbating the already dire situation.

Despite the ceasefire agreement that came into effect on October 10, 2025, the Israeli military has continued to breach the truce through shelling and gunfire, leading to additional casualties.

Since the ceasefire, Gaza’s Health Ministry confirmed that at least 750 people have been killed and 2,090 wounded, with 760 bodies recovered.

The ceasefire was brokered after two years of intense conflict that began on October 8, 2023.

The war devastated Gaza, destroying up to 90% of civilian infrastructure. The United Nations has estimated that the cost of reconstruction will reach approximately $70 billion.
