MOSCOW, Aug 11 (Bernama-Sputnik/RIA Novosti) -- The death toll in the Gaza Strip has exceeded 75,000 since the escalation began in 2023, Palestinian Ambassador to Russia Abdel Hafiz Nofal said, reported Sputnik/RIA Novosti.
“According to available data, the total number of dead in the Gaza Strip has exceeded 75,000, and the number of injured has exceeded 250,000,” the ambassador told Russian newspaper Izvestia.
The diplomat also noted that many of the dead remain buried under rubble.
On October 9, 2025, Israel and Hamas, with the mediation of Egypt, Qatar, the United States (US) and Türkiye, agreed to implement the first phase of the peace plan presented by US President Donald Trump.
The following day, a ceasefire went into effect in Gaza. In accordance with the agreement, Israeli troops withdrew to the so-called Yellow Line, retaining control of over 50 per cent of the strip's territory.
