Since Israel’s war began in October 2023, at least 65,062 people have been killed and 165,697 wounded in attacks across Gaza, according to figures released by Gaza’s Health Ministry.

In the past 24 hours alone, hospitals across the enclave received the bodies of seven Palestinians killed while seeking aid and 87 others wounded.

The latest figures bring the number of people killed at aid sites since the establishment of the GHF at the end of May to 2,504, with more than 18,381 injured.

The ministry also reported four new deaths caused by famine and malnutrition, raising the total number of hunger-related deaths to 432, including 146 children.

Since the UN-backed IPC declared famine in Gaza last month, 154 deaths from malnutrition have been recorded, among them 31 children.
