Additionally, the ministry disclosed that the total number of injured individuals has risen to 55,234.
In the past 24 hours alone, 195 people lost their lives, and over 300 were injured in relentless attacks across Gaza, according to the ministry.
Of particular concern is the intensified Israeli assault in the vicinity of Nasser Hospital in the southern city of Khan Yunis.
The ministry issued a plea for international assistance to ensure the safety of staff and patients at the facility, where thousands of displaced Palestinians have sought refuge.
Hospitals and their surrounding areas have become primary targets of the Israeli air campaign throughout the conflict. Various UN agencies have warned that a significant number of medical facilities have ceased operations, exacerbating the already dire humanitarian situation marked by severe shortages of food and water.
Official figures indicate that the war has led to the displacement of 90% of Gaza's population, painting a grim picture of the widespread impact on civilians caught in the crossfire.
The international community continues to watch closely as efforts to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza face mounting challenges amid the ongoing conflict. (ILKHA)
