News - Middle East: The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza announced on Saturday that hospitals have received 202 martyrs and over 1,000 injured in the past two days due to ongoing Israeli aggression.

According to the ministry’s daily statistical report, a total of 202 martyrs—including four bodies recovered from the rubble—and 1,037 injuries were recorded over the last 48 hours. The ministry warned that many victims remain trapped under the rubble or lying in the streets, inaccessible to ambulance and civil defense crews.

The ministry further reported that the total death toll from the Israeli aggression since October 7, 2023, has now reached 55,908 martyrs and 131,138 injured. Since the resumption of the genocidal attacks on March 18, 2025, 5,599 martyrs and 19,097 injuries have been recorded.

Additionally, the ministry highlighted that 450 martyrs and over 3,466 injuries have resulted from attacks at US-backed aid distribution centers, which began operating on May 27.

The latest spike in casualties comes amid a relentless Israeli military campaign against the besieged Gaza Strip, now in its ninth month. 

Since the start of the aggression on October 7, 2023, Gaza’s civilian infrastructure has been devastated, with hospitals, schools, and refugee camps repeatedly targeted. 

The humanitarian situation has further deteriorated following the launch of US-backed aid distribution points on May 27, which have drawn widespread condemnation for turning essential aid into a tool of control. 

These centers have become scenes of deadly violence, where desperate civilians have been met with live fire while seeking food. 

International organizations, including the United Nations, have warned of famine, mass displacement, and a collapse of health services, as Israeli enemy’s siege and bombardment continue unabated.
