Gaza’s Ministry of Health said among the casualties were 4,104 children and 2,641 women; while 2,200 others, including 2,150 children, were still trapped beneath the rubble.
The ministry, in the statement, said the siege by Israel had denied Palestinians access to necessities like fuel, food and electricity.
“The number is expected to go up as at least 2,000 people remain under the rubble.

He put the number of those wounded since the October 7 start of the war at 25,408, including at least 6,360 children and 4,891 women.
