Gaza: The death toll from the Israeli occupation's aggression against the Gaza Strip since Oct. 7, 2023, has risen to 70,668 martyrs, in addition to 171,152 wounded.
In a statement on Wednesday, the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip said that the Strip's hospitals received one new martyr and one injury during the past 24 hours, noting that the total number of martyrs and injuries since the implementation of the ceasefire agreement last October has reached 394 martyrs and 1075 injured.
The ministry also said that since the ceasefire agreement, civil defense teams and residents have been able to recover 634 bodies of martyrs who died in Israeli raids on residential buildings, noting that there are still thousands of victims under the rubble.
The ministry noted the death of a citizen as a result of a house collapsing on him due to the recent low-pressure system, and thus the final toll of low-pressure system is 12 deaths, including 11 due to the collapse of dilapidated buildings and one case due to extreme cold.
