The health ministry in Gaza reported on Thursday that at least 72,345 Palestinians have been killed since the onset of a major military offensive in October 2023. The ministry's figures, which include a further 172,250 wounded, provide a stark numerical account of the human cost of the conflict. The data also indicates that lethal violence has persisted despite a nominal halt to major hostilities, with at least 766 Palestinians reported killed since a so-called ceasefire came into effect in October 2025.

The report's reference to a "so-called ceasefire" in October 2025 and the hundreds of deaths recorded since that time points to a fragile and contested peace. This language suggests that, from the perspective of Gazan health officials, the cessation of large-scale hostilities has not translated into safety for the population. Isolated strikes, raids, or other violent incidents appear to have continued, claiming...
