GAZA, July 2, 2025 (WAFA) – The ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip has claimed the lives of 57,012 Palestinians, with nearly 134,592 reported wounded since October 7, 2023, according to medical sources.

"Among the casualties are 6,454 deaths and 22,551 injuries reported since March 18, when Israel resumed its military campaign after a short-lived ceasefire."

In the past 24 hours alone, 142 Palestinians were killed—including three whose bodies were retrieved from the rubble—and 487 others were injured, as Israel intensified its attacks across the besieged enclave.

Medical sources reported that rescue teams and civil defense crews are struggling to reach victims, with many still trapped under the rubble or lying in the streets due to the ongoing shelling.

The toll from attacks on Palestinians seeking humanitarian aid has also surged. Over the last 24 hours, 39 civilians were killed and more than 210 wounded while attempting to access aid. This brings the total number of Palestinians killed while searching for food or relief to 640, with 4,488 others injured.
