Gaza death toll surpasses 73,400 as Israel kills 10 more Palestinians in 24 hours

The death toll in Gaza has exceeded 73,400, according to the local Health Ministry, after Israeli forces killed 10 more Palestinians in the past 24 hours. The ministry also reported that 25 additional people were wounded during the same period. The new figures bring the total number of casualties since the start of the current conflict to 73,412 dead and 167,254 injured. The ministry did not provide further details on the locations or circumstances of the latest strikes. The ongoing military operations continue to strain Gaza’s already overwhelmed healthcare system, with hospitals reporting shortages of medical supplies and staff. International calls for a ceasefire have intensified, but no formal halt in fighting has been agreed upon. The figures from the Health Ministry are widely cited by international agencies, including the United Nations, and are considered reliable despite the difficulty of verifying data in the active war zone.
