Gaza health officials say over 69,000 Palestinians have been killed in the Israel-Hamas war so far
Death toll rose after more bodies were recovered and identified since the ceasefire, with 170,685 wounded reported by Gaza health officials.
- Gaza's Health Ministry reported that over 69,000 Palestinians have been killed since Hamas's Oct. 7, 2023 attack, with 69,169 deaths and 170,685 wounded.
- Since the ceasefire took effect on Oct. 10, the recent death toll jump is due to more recovered bodies and identification, while Palestinian militants released remains of 23 hostages with five remaining.
- Israel returned 15 bodies in the recent exchange, bringing the total Palestinian remains handed over to 285, and the Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis received the 15 returned bodies.
- Israel confirmed the returned remains were identified as Lior Rudaeff, who died fighting Hamas in the Oct. 7, 2023 attack and volunteered for more than 40 years, the Hostages and Missing Families Forum said.
- Under the U.S.-brokered ceasefire, more than 200,000 metric tons in aid are positioned to move into Gaza, but only 37,000 tons, mostly food, have been admitted, Gaza's Health Ministry said.
