Gaza death toll passes 74,016 as ceasefire stalls
The Gaza Health Ministry said on Sunday that the Palestinian death toll has passed 74,016, with 175,068 wounded, since October 7, 2023, the Associated Press reported.
The US-brokered ceasefire in effect since October 10, 2025 has halted the heaviest fighting, but Israeli strikes continue — 1,145 Palestinians have been killed since the ceasefire along with seven Israeli soldiers, and recent strikes in Gaza City and Khan Younis's Muwasi area killed at least two people.
The ceasefire terms remain stalled: Israeli forces control over half of Gaza, Hamas has not disarmed, no new Palestinian government has been installed and reconstruction has not begun; Prime Minister Netanyahu says there will be no withdrawal until Hamas disarms.
