Amman, Oct 21 (Petra) – The number of people killed in Israel’s war
of genocide in the Gaza Strip that began on October 7, 2023, has
risen to 74,494, with with 175,604 injured, according to the Gaza
Health Ministry.

The ministry said on Wednesday that hospitals in the Gaza Strip
received 7 bodies of people killed and 24 wounded by Israeli fire in
the last 24 hours.

The latest casualties brought the total number of fatalities since
the ceasefire in October, 2025, to 1,534, and the number of injuries
climbed to 5,486, said the ministry, quoted by the Palestinian News
Agency “Wafa”.

It said a number of victims were buried under the rubble or are on
roads, inaccessible by already stretched out ambulance and rescue
crews.

The Israeli war has resulted in a humanitarian catastrophe with
massive destruction of homes and infrastructure, as well as the
collapse of essential services, it said.

The situation is further exacerbated by the Israeli occupation army’s
ongoing blockade on the entry of relief supplies and materials for
reconstruction, despite the ceasefire agreement that stipulates
unfettered access of supplies.
