More Than 61,000 Martyrs in Gaza and a Dramatic Rise in Victims of Systematic Starvation
In a stark confirmation of the scale of the humanitarian catastrophe and the grave crime being committed by the Zionist enemy against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian Ministry of Health announced today, Tuesday, that the death toll in Gaza since the start of the aggression has exceeded 61,020 martyrs—one of the worst genocidal atrocities witnessed in modern history.
According to its daily statistical report, the ministry recorded 150,671 injuries since October 7, 2023, amid relentless, brutal bombardment and a policy of deliberate starvation targeting every aspect of life.
In Just 24 Hours: 87 Martyrs and 644 Wounded
The report confirms that the Zionist massacres have not abated: over the past twenty-four hours alone, Gaza’s hospitals received 87 martyrs—including 8 recovered from under the rubble—and 644 wounded, most in critical condition.
It further notes that 9,519 martyrs and 38,630 injuries have been documented between March 18, 2025, and today, marking an unprecedented escalation in the war crimes committed by Israel’s war machine.
Martyrs of the Bread Line… The Blood of the Poor under Siege
In a horrifying crime that lays bare the enemy’s true face, the number of so-called “aid-seekers’ martyrs”—those killed while trying to obtain food under the deliberate starvation imposed by Israel—has risen to 1,568 martyrs and more than 11,230 wounded.
In the last twenty-four hours alone, 52 people were killed and over 352 wounded as they attempted to collect humanitarian aid.
Starvation Continues… Eight More Die in a Single Day from Hunger
Meanwhile, the famine and lethal deprivation continue to claim civilian lives: Gaza’s hospitals recorded eight new deaths from starvation and malnutrition in the past day—one child and seven adults—bringing the total hunger-related death toll to 188 martyrs, including 94 children, most of them in northern Gaza, which has become a total disaster zone.
Under the Rubble… Silent Martyrdom
The tragedy extends beyond the official figures: the Ministry of Health warns that many more victims remain under the rubble or stranded in the streets, as rescue and ambulance teams are unable to reach them due to ongoing bombing and the near-total collapse of civil defense infrastructures.
A War of Extermination… Not Merely an Aggression
The continuous massacres and this unprecedented rise in civilian casualties leave no doubt that what is happening in Gaza is not simply a military aggression—it is a fully-fledged genocide, perpetrated by the Zionist enemy with American backing and abetted by a scandalous international silence. Its aim is nothing less than the annihilation of the Palestinian people and the eradication of their cause.
Gaza’s Blood-Fueled Resilience
Despite the pain and destruction, the Palestinian people continue their legendary steadfastness. Their wounds have become fuel for the resistance, proving that the battle for consciousness and dignity remains unbroken—and that this sacred blood will bloom into victory as long as the Ummah stands with Palestine, just as the resolute people of Yemen stand in every arena.
