The death toll from the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, has risen to 52,535 martyrs and 118,491 injuries, according to the Ministry of Health, amid ongoing bombardment and the inability of medical teams to reach many affected areas.

The Israeli army has issued new orders to mobilize reserve forces, preparing to call up tens of thousands more soldiers as part of efforts to expand the ongoing aggression on Gaza. The Israeli security cabinet is expected to discuss these plans.

Since the resumption of the war, the number of deaths due to famine in Gaza has risen to 57, most of them children, according to Gaza’s Government Media Office. The office warned that the number is likely to increase as border crossings remain closed and the entry of humanitarian aid, including baby formula and nutritional supplements, continues to be blocked.
