All seven deaths in Gaza's latest daily count were entered against the ceasefire

The health ministry in Gaza said on Wednesday that hospitals in the Strip had received 7 bodies and 23 wounded people over the previous 24 hours. Its daily statistical report gave no circumstances for any of them.

The same report put the number killed in violations of the ceasefire that took effect on 10 October 2025 at 1,273, with 4,223 wounded. A day earlier the ministry had given those figures as 1,266 and 4,200. Both counts moved by precisely the day's arrivals, which places every casualty of the past 24 hours inside the ceasefire period rather than anywhere else in the record.

The cumulative count since the war began on 7 October 2023 rose by the same amounts, to 73,407 people killed and 174,335 wounded.

One figure stayed still. The bodies recovered from under rubble are counted separately from those killed in new attacks, and that number remained at 813. The ministry said people are still lying under collapsed buildings and on roads that ambulance and civil defence crews cannot reach, and it has warned repeatedly that the toll it publishes will rise as recovery continues, held back by the state of the infrastructure and by restrictions on access.

The distance between the two counts is the part that will outlast the day. A death that reaches a hospital is entered when it happens; a body under a building is not entered as a death until someone can dig it out, so a recovery figure frozen at 813 is a measure of what crews were able to do this week, not of how many people are there. Ten months after the agreement took effect, the daily report has become the clearest running account of what it stopped and what it did not.
