Palestinian Death Toll in Gaza Rises to Nearly 73,000 Health Officials Say

Palestinian Death Toll in Gaza Rises to Nearly 73,000 Health Officials Say

Post by : Shweta

 

Gaza, June 10 — Palestinian health officials in Gaza say the number of Palestinians killed since the start of the war in October 2023 has climbed to 72,991, while at least 173,212 people have been injured as fighting and humanitarian challenges continue across the territory.

According to medical sources in Gaza, hospitals received the bodies of three Palestinians and treated five injured people during the previous 24 hours. Officials said rescue and emergency teams continue to face difficulties reaching several locations where victims are believed to be trapped beneath collapsed buildings or lying in inaccessible areas.

The latest figures reflect the continuing impact of nearly three years of conflict, which has left much of the Gaza Strip heavily damaged and placed severe pressure on its healthcare system and emergency services.

Medical authorities said many casualties remain unaccounted for because ambulance crews and civil defence teams are unable to access some areas. Ongoing damage to infrastructure and the scale of destruction have complicated search and recovery operations.

Officials noted that bodies are still being recovered from beneath the rubble months after intense fighting in several parts of the enclave. The continued discovery of victims highlights the long-term humanitarian consequences of the conflict.

Hospitals and medical facilities in Gaza have been operating under challenging conditions, with healthcare workers managing large numbers of casualties while facing shortages of supplies and resources.

Health sources also reported that since a ceasefire arrangement came into force in October 2025, at least 981 Palestinians have been killed and 3,104 others injured.

In addition, emergency teams have recovered 783 bodies from collapsed structures and destroyed neighbourhoods since the ceasefire began. The figures indicate that recovery efforts remain ongoing despite the reduction in major military operations.

While the ceasefire has reduced large-scale fighting compared with earlier stages of the conflict, humanitarian agencies and local authorities continue to warn that significant challenges remain, including displaced populations, damaged infrastructure and the need for sustained relief efforts.

The war, which began in October 2023, has triggered one of the most severe humanitarian crises in the region in recent decades. International organizations and aid groups have repeatedly called for increased humanitarian access and support for civilians affected by the fighting.

The destruction of homes, public facilities and essential infrastructure has created long-term recovery needs, while many families continue searching for missing relatives and awaiting the return of normal services.

As rescue operations continue and humanitarian concerns persist, local health authorities are expected to provide updated casualty figures in the coming days while international efforts to support recovery and maintain stability remain ongoing.
