More than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the ceasefire began on 10 October last year.

More than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since a ceasefire began on 10 October last year, according to Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry, whose figures are considered reliable by the UN. The ceasefire followed the Hamas-led attack on Israel on 7 October 2023, which killed about 1,200 people and took 251 hostages. In exchange for the release of the remaining hostages from Gaza, thousands of Palestinians held by Israel were released.

Despite the ceasefire, Israeli attacks have continued almost daily throughout the year. Islamic Relief reports that Israeli attacks have killed or wounded a Palestinian in Gaza every 90 minutes on average since October, with at least 1,454 killed and more than 5,000 wounded. At least 320 of those killed were children. Israel says it is targeting Hamas operatives and accuses Hamas of continued ceasefire violations. The total death toll from Israeli attacks since the start of the war in October 2023 now stands at more than 74,000, according to Gaza's health ministry.

Isramic Relief says Israel has used the so-called Yellow Line, which marks the area under Israeli military control, to push Palestinians out of 65 per cent of Gaza, crowding its nearly 2.1 million people into the remaining 35 per cent. About 82 per cent of Gaza's structures are damaged or destroyed, more than half of health services have shut down and more than 20,000 severely ill patients are denied permission to leave for treatment. Israel continues to block shelter materials, fuel and medical supplies, the group said.
