Hospitals across Gaza recorded new civilian losses over the past day, as medical staff reported the arrival of several bodies and a number of wounded people requiring urgent treatment. The figures underline how daily life remains lethal, even as communities are told that fighting has formally paused amid an ongoing genocidal war.

Health officials said that since the ceasefire announced in mid-October, hundreds of people have been killed and well over a thousand injured. Recovery teams working in devastated neighbourhoods have also continued to retrieve bodies from collapsed buildings, revealing the scale of destruction left behind by months of bombardment and the persistent toll of the genocide.

Looking at the broader picture since early October 2023, the cumulative number of those killed has climbed into the tens of thousands, with injuries numbering in the hundreds of thousands. Medical services, already stretched beyond capacity, are struggling to cope with the volume of casualties generated by the genocidal war.

Warnings were also issued that many victims remain unaccounted for, buried beneath rubble or lying in areas that emergency crews cannot safely reach. Damaged roads, shortages of equipment and ongoing danger have severely limited rescue efforts, leaving families waiting in anguish for news of their loved ones.
