Gaza death toll from Israeli offensive rises to 74,645 people
Hospitals received 16 injured people and two bodies over 24 hours, while 1,614 people have been killed since an October 2025 ceasefire.
The death toll from Israel's military offensive in Gaza has risen to 74,645 since Oct. 7, 2023, Gaza's health authorities said in a statement on Tuesday, Gaza health authorities said in a statement.
A total of 175,978 people have been wounded over the same period, according to the figures.
Hospitals across Gaza received two bodies and 16 injured people over the previous 24 hours, the statement said.
Since a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas took effect in October 2025, 1,614 Palestinians have been killed and 5,849 wounded, the statement added.
A further 850 bodies have been recovered since the truce began.
Health officials warned that many victims remain trapped under rubble or lying in the streets, and ambulance and rescue teams cannot reach them.
Observers said Israeli forces have continued to violate the agreement through air strikes, artillery shelling and sustained gunfire across different parts of the territory.
These attacks have caused further casualties and deepened a humanitarian crisis that already affects Gaza's population, observers said.
The ceasefire was intended to halt hostilities between Israel and Hamas and took effect in October last year.
The war in Gaza began after Hamas-led attacks on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023.
