Gaza death toll rises to 53,901

The number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in Gaza since October 2023 has risen to 53,901, the Palestinian health ministry said on Saturday. 

At least 122,593 have been wounded since the war began, it added.

In a statement, the ministry said the bodies of at least 79 people, including five recovered from earlier attacks, had arrived at hospitals across Gaza over the past day. That figure excludes facilities based in northern Gaza, which health officials have been unable to access.

A further 211 were wounded over the past 24 hours.
