Death toll from ongoing Israeli aggression in Gaza rises to 54,470

GAZA, June 02 (YPA) – The Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced on Monday that 52 citizens were killed and 503 others were injured during the past 24 hours as a result of the ongoing Israeli aggression in several areas of the strip.

In its statement, the ministry stated that “the number of victims who fell while trying to obtain humanitarian aid increased to 75 martyrs, including 35 martyrs who were killed only yesterday, while the number of injured in aid distribution areas exceeded 400.”

The ministry stated that the death toll from the Israeli aggression since the beginning of the intense attack on the northern Gaza Strip on March 18, 2025, reached 4,201, in addition to 2,652 injured, most of them women, children, and the elderly.

It also indicated that the total death toll from the ongoing aggression on the Gaza Strip since the seventh of October 2023 has increased to 54,470, with 124,693 injured, in light of deteriorating humanitarian conditions and an acute shortage of medical capabilities.

The ministry confirmed that many victims are still under the rubble and on the roads, as ambulance and civil defense crews are unable to reach them because of the heavy shelling in their areas.
