The health ministry in Gaza has revised upwards to 50,846 the total number of Palestinians killed in Israel’s war on the territory since October 7, 2023, Al Jazeera reports.

A further 115,729 people have been injured in Israeli attacks on the enclave during the same period, according to the ministry.

Over the previous 24-hour reporting period, 36 people were killed and transferred to hospitals in Gaza and 41 wounded people were also admitted for treatment.

The latest deaths bring to 1,482 the number of people killed in Gaza since Israel broke a ceasefire on March 18 and renewed attacks on civilians across the Strip.

A further 3,688 people have also been injured in Israeli attacks since the scuttling of the ceasefire agreement with Hamas, Al Jazeera quotes the ministry.
