Cairo: The number of people killed in the Gaza Strip since Israel resumed strikes on the Palestinian enclave on March 18 has reached 2,062, the Gazan health ministry said on Friday.
“The number of people killed since March 18, 2025, has reached 2,062, with 5,375 others wounded,” the ministry said in a statement.
Over the past 24 hours 168 wounded people and 84 dead have been taken to the hospitals in Gaza, the statement read.
“Since October 7, 2023, the number of victims of the Israeli aggression has reached 51,439 people, 117,416 people have been wounded,” the ministry said.
On March 18, Israel resumed strikes on the Gaza Strip, citing Palestinian movement Hamas’ refusal to accept the US plan to extend the ceasefire, which expired on March 1. In early March, Israel also cut off the electricity supply to a desalination plant in the Gaza Strip and closed off entry to trucks carrying humanitarian aid.
