The ministry reported that since the ceasefire came into effect on October 11, a total of 241 people have been martyred and 614 injured, while 522 bodies have been recovered from the rubble. Adding that over the past 72 hours, hospitals in Gaza Strip received the bodies of 10 martyrs, including 9 recovered from beneath the rubble, in addition to 6 injured individuals.

A ceasefire agreement between Hamas and the Israeli entity came into effect on October 11, following the withdrawal of Israeli occupation forces from populated areas in the Strip and the beginning of the return of displaced residents to northern Gaza. The truce marked the first phase of US President Donald Trump’s initiative to end the war on Gaza. (QNA)
