Death Toll Updated to 1,320: Gaza authorities updated the tally to 1,320 Palestinians killed since the ceasefire, reporting 4,385 wounded and that emergency teams had recovered 815 bodies in areas from which Israeli forces withdrew, according to a Health Ministry statement shared on social media. This figure was presented as the latest official post‑ceasefire total.

Continued Strikes and Rescue Difficulties: Despite the ceasefire, near‑daily strikes, drone attacks and artillery fire continued across Gaza, producing new casualties and leaving victims under rubble and on roads that ambulance and civil defense crews could not always reach. Hospitals received multiple bodies and injured over successive 24‑hour reporting periods as recovery teams worked in areas behind the so‑called 'yellow line.'
August 29, 2026
Early Post‑Ceasefire Toll Reported: By late August 2026 Gaza health officials reported that the death toll from Israeli violations since the ceasefire rose into the low 1,300s — figures reported include 1,313 and 1,318 killed and thousands wounded. These counts were presented as totals 'since the ceasefire took effect on October 11.'
