GAZA, August 11, 2025 (WAFA) – The death toll from the Israeli genocidal aggression on the Gaza Strip Monday surged to 61,499 civilians, according to medical sources.

They said that the total death toll in the Gaza Strip has climbed to 61,499, mostly women and children, since the onset of the genocidal aggression on the Strip on October 7, 2023.

They added that the toll of casualties since the outbreak of the aggression has also climbed to 153,575.

They pointed out that just within the last 24 hours, the bodies of 69 slain Palestinians, including one retrieved from the rubble, and 362 casualties were transferred to hospitals.

Israel unilaterally ended the Gaza ceasefire agreement and resumed its aggression on the Strip on Tuesday, March 18, carrying out a wave of bloody airstrikes, killing at least 9,989 with 41,534 others wounded, according to medical sources.

Moreover, at least 10,000 people are unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble of their homes throughout the Strip.

The Israeli aggression has also resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly two million people from all over the Gaza Strip, with the vast majority of the displaced forced into the densely crowded southern city of Rafah near the border with Egypt – in what has become Palestine’s largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.
