Israel has killed over 1,000 Gazans since truce with Hamas agreed in October

The Israeli army has killed 1,005 Palestinians in Gaza since a truce agreement with Hamas was signed on October 11, the Gaza Ministry of Health reported Wednesday. During this period, Israel has reportedly attacked Gaza almost daily, resulting in 3,157 injuries, many with life-altering consequences such as amputations.

Additionally, the bodies of 784 Palestinians have been recovered from rubble in buildings previously hit by Israeli fire. The ministry stated that victims remain trapped under debris and in streets, as ambulance and civil defense teams cannot reach them. Six martyrs who died from their injuries were added to the cumulative total after their data was verified.

There are victims trapped under the rubble and in the streets, as ambulance and Civil Defense teams have not been able to reach them.

These figures contribute to a total of 73,016 Palestinians killed in Gaza since Israel began its siege following Hamas's attacks on October 7, 2023, with 173,265 injured. The data is compiled by a unit within Gaza's Ministry of Health, centralizing counts from various hospital morgues that operate with limited resources, specialists, and facilities damaged by Israeli attacks.

Israel has consistently questioned the reliability of these statistics. However, in late January, the Israeli army estimated around 70,000 Palestinians had been killed in Gaza since October 7, a figure broadly aligning with Gaza's Health Ministry at the time. The United Nations and other international organizations have also used these figures as a reference, deeming the counts valid despite logistical limitations.
