The number of people killed since the start of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip on October 7th, 2023, has surged to 39677. Some 91645 others have been wounded.
Thousands of victims are still trapped under the rubble or scattered on the roads, as ambulance and civil defense teams are facing tremendous difficulties in reaching them due to the relentless Israeli shelling.
Casualty data in Gaza are incomplete due to the intensive Israeli aggression, the repeated and complete interruption of communication and internet services, devastated infrastructure and massive debris, and the lack of fuel and heavy machinery; which render it difficult to document figures.
