ISTANBUL, Aug 20 (Bernama-Anadolu) -- Another 10 Palestinians were killed and 25 others wounded over the past 24 hours in the Gaza Strip, raising the death toll from Israel's genocide in the blockaded enclave since October 2023 to 73,417, the Health Ministry said on Thursday, Anadolu Ajansi reported.
In its daily statistical report, the ministry said Gaza hospitals received 10 bodies and 25 injured people in the past 24 hours.
The ministry did not specify the circumstances surrounding the casualties, as the Israeli army continued to violate the October 2025 ceasefire through shelling and gunfire across different parts of the territory.
A number of victims remain trapped under the rubble and on the roads, with ambulance and civil defence crews still unable to reach them, the ministry added.
According to the ministry, the death toll from Israeli violations of the truce rose to 1,283, while 4,248 others have been injured.
The ministry said the overall toll from Israel's genocide has reached 73,417 killed and 174,360 wounded.
Besides the casualties, the campaign caused widespread destruction, damaging about 90 per cent of Gaza's civilian infrastructure, with the UN estimating reconstruction costs at around US$70 billion.
