Gaza’s Health Ministry said the death toll since October 7, 2023, has risen to 63,459, with 160,256 wounded. This includes 2,248 people killed and more than 16,600 injured while searching for food aid, including children.
Meanwhile, UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, warned that children in Gaza “are not walking to school but searching for safety,” noting that displaced families remain without shelter while deliveries of tents and other supplies have been blocked for almost six months.
