The Palestinian health ministry reported 26 fatalities, including four newly killed and 22 bodies recovered, as well as five wounded people arriving at hospitals in the past 48 hours, according to Al Jazeera.
In a new statement, the ministry said an additional 572 deaths were added to the official toll of people killed in Israeli attacks after a judicial committee verified missing persons’ reports.
This brings the confirmed death toll from Israeli attacks since October 7 to at least 48,181, with 111,638 wounded.
Many victims remain trapped under the rubble.
Gaza's government media office has put the death toll at 61,709 people, saying thousands of missing individuals are now presumed dead.
