WAFA reported that Gaza medical sources put the cumulative toll since October 2023 at 74,498 Palestinians killed and 175,616 injured. The sources said the count remained incomplete because victims remained beneath rubble and beyond rescue access. Hospitals had received four bodies and 12 injured people over the previous 24 hours; two of the four were reported recently killed. WAFA also reported that since the ceasefire took effect on 11 October 2025, 1,538 Palestinians had been killed and 5,498 injured, with at least 841 bodies recovered from rubble. These are figures attributed to Gaza medical sources and WAFA, with the sourceโs ceasefire cut-off stated explicitly.
