The Gaza Ministry of Health said Israeli fire killed 47 people and wounded 226 others in the enclave during the past 24 hours, underscoring the continuing human cost of the nearly two-year conflict. Medical personnel reported that the dead include 14 Palestinians who were waiting for humanitarian assistance, while 132 others in the same crowd were hurt. Separate hospital accounts cited 27 fatalities in strikes and gunfire that began at dawn Sunday in several parts of the territory. The latest figures lift the death toll in Gaza to 61,944, with 155,886 people injured since October 7, 2023, according to the ministry. Israel has said its operations target Hamas militants embedded among civilians; efforts by mediators to secure a lasting cease-fire have so far failed to gain traction.
