Medical sources in the Gaza Strip revealed today, Saturday, a new and painful update to the toll of victims of the ongoing aggression, as the number of documented martyrs rose to 72,291, while the number of injured reached 172,068 since October 7, 2023. These figures come amid the continuation of military operations targeting civilians and infrastructure in various areas of the Strip.
According to official data issued by hospitals, medical facilities received two martyrs and 25 new injuries during the past twenty-four hours. Statistics also indicated that the period following October 11 alone witnessed the martyrdom of 715 and the injury of 1,968 others, while teams were able to recover 756 bodies from various areas that had been bombed earlier.
The sources warned that the announced figures do not reflect the true extent of the tragedy, due to the presence of hundreds of victims trapped under the rubble of destroyed buildings or whose bodies are lying in rough roads. They confirmed that civil defense and ambulance crews face a complete inability to reach these areas due to the field restrictions imposed by the occupation and the continuation of direct targeting, which makes the final enumeration of victims an almost impossible task at present.
A number of victims are still under the rubble and in the streets, as ambulance and civil defense crews are unable to reach them.
