Gaza, May 2, 2026 – The Palestinian Ministry of Health has released a daily statistical report highlighting the devastating impact of the ongoing ‘Israeli’ aggression on the Gaza Strip. The report details the number of martyrs and injured individuals who have arrived at local hospitals over the past 48 hours.
According to the report, seven martyrs (four new and three retrieved) and 26 injuries have been documented, adding to the growing toll of the crisis. Unfortunately, a number of victims remain trapped under rubble or on the streets, as rescue efforts are hindered by the inaccessible terrain and ongoing violence.
In the aftermath of the October 11, 2025, ceasefire, the Gaza Strip has witnessed an alarming escalation in casualties. The Ministry of Health has reported a total of 828 martyrs and 2,342 injuries, with 767 individuals rescued from the rubble. These numbers, compiled since October 7, 2023, starkly illustrate the magnitude of the humanitarian disaster.
The total toll of the ‘Israeli’ aggression since October 7, 2023, has risen to a staggering 72,608 martyrs and 172,445 injuries. This unprecedented scale of casualties underscores the dire need for a permanent resolution to the ongoing conflict.
As rescue operations continue, Palestinian officials emphasize the urgent necessity for international intervention to address the humanitarian crisis. The prolonged blockade and ongoing ‘Israeli’ aggression have crippled the healthcare system, exacerbating the suffering of innocent civilians.
The international community must take immediate action to support the Palestinian authorities in providing aid and establishing a stable environment for reconstruction. It is imperative to acknowledge the severity of this humanitarian disaster and work towards a peaceful resolution that upholds the fundamental human rights of the Palestinian people.
In light of these developments, international organizations and humanitarian agencies are urged to mobilize resources and provide critical assistance to the affected population. The long-term viability of a ceasefire will depend on the establishment of a durable peace agreement that addresses the underlying causes of this conflict.
In a statement, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Health underscored the need for comprehensive international support to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people. “The dire humanitarian situation in Gaza demands an immediate and sustained response from the international community,” the spokesperson emphasized.
As the crisis deepens, the people of Gaza remain in dire need of international assistance to alleviate their suffering. The international community must act swiftly to address this humanitarian disaster and work towards a lasting resolution to this conflict.
