This figure, released by the Associated Press and cited by the Ministry of Health in Gaza, is part of a continually updating tally that underscores the devastating human cost of the latest flare-up in the conflict. In parallel, authorities report that roughly 9,600 individuals have sustained serious injuries, a figure that highlights the medical system’s overwhelmed capacity and the long road to recovery for survivors. The numbers reflect a conflict that has intensified at a scale not seen in years, drawing attention to the urgent needs of civilians caught in the crossfire and the broader humanitarian consequences of ongoing hostilities.
