DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip: Gaza’s Health Ministry says the Palestinian death toll from the Israel-Hamas war has surpassed 73,000.
The updated toll on Sunday came as Israel has continued to strike despite a fragile ceasefire deal reached in October.
Confirmation came from Zaher Al-Waheidi, head of the ministry’s records department, and Hamza Salem from the ministry’s public relations department.
The total number of deaths since the beginning of the war is now 73,001.
On Sunday, the ministry said, there were five deaths: two in the southern city of Khan Younis and one in central Gaza, in addition to two who died of earlier wounds.
