Gaza’s health ministry reports that 119 bodies, including 15 recovered from under the rubble of destroyed buildings or other places, and 866 wounded Palestinians have arrived at the enclave’s hospitals over the past 24 hours, Al Jazeera reports.

At least 65 Palestinians were killed while seeking aid, and 511 more were wounded.

This brings the toll from Israeli attacks to 60,839 people killed and 149,588 wounded since October 7, 2023. Since March 18, when Israel violated the ceasefire with Hamas, at least 9,350 people have been killed and 37,547 injured.

The ministry noted that it added 290 people to the overall death toll after data gathering was completed and approved by a judicial committee that was following up on reports of missing people.
