Death toll in Gaza rises to 70,365

The death toll in the Gaza Strip has risen to 70,365, the majority of whom are women and children, since the start of Israel's genocide in October 2023.

The Palestinian health ministry said the number of people wounded by Israeli forces during that time had risen to 171,058.

At least five new names were added to the death toll, three of whom were killed by Israeli forces over the past 24 hours, and two whose bodies were recovered from under rubble.

Since the ceasefire agreement on 11 October, at least 376 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces and 981 wounded. A further 626 bodies have been recovered.
