Gaza Death Toll Rises Despite Ceasefire, Ministry Reports

At least 395 Palestinians have been killed and 1,088 injured in Gaza since a ceasefire began. The figures come from the territory's Health Ministry, which is run by Hamas. The Ministry reported the casualties occurred during Israeli military operations. These actions continued despite a formal pause in fighting. The latest incidents include two Palestinians wounded by Israeli fire. One of those injured was a child. The ceasefire agreement was intended to halt major combat. However, isolated clashes and operations have persisted. The Health Ministry's numbers cover the period from the start of the truce to the present. The data could not be independently verified. International agencies often rely on these Ministry figures in their reporting. The ongoing casualties highlight the fragile nature of the ceasefire. Tensions in the region remain high.
