GAZA, January 17, 2026 (WAFA) – The death toll from the Israeli ongoing aggression has risen to 71,548 Palestinians, with 171,353 reported wounded, since the beginning of the offensive on October 7, 2023, according to medical sources.

They affirmed that one new fatality was received at Gaza hospitals over the past 24 hours, along with six new injuries. A number of victims remain trapped under rubble or lying in the streets, as ambulance and civil defense crews are still unable to reach them due to the massive destruction and the absence of supplies.

Since the ceasefire came into effect on October 11, the number of fatalities has increased to 464, with 1,275 injuries, while 712 bodies have been recovered from beneath the rubble.

Earlier on Saturday, a 27-day-old infant passed away due to severe cold, bringing the number of child deaths caused by extreme winter conditions since the start of the season to eight.
