Gaza Death Toll Exceeds 50,200 as Israeli Bombardment Intensifies
Gaza (Quds News Network)- Israel’s relentless bombardment of Gaza has killed 25 Palestinians and wounded 82 in the past 24 hours, as airstrikes continue to devastate the enclave.
Since March 18, Israeli attacks have claimed 855 lives and left 1,869 injured. The overall death toll from Israel’s war on Gaza has now surged to 50,208, with 113,910 wounded since 7 October 2023, the Palestinian Health Ministry reported on Thursday.
The death toll is expected to rise as many remain trapped under the rubble. Among the victims are over 322 children, 174 women, and 58 elders.
On March 18, Israel renewed its assault on the Gaza Strip and last week launched a new ground invasion across the enclave, marking the collapse of a ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal that had been in place since January 19, 2025. The first phase ended on March 1, 2025, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refused to proceed with the second phase.
Netanyahu, wanted by the International Criminal Court, sought to free more Israeli prisoners without fulfilling Israel’s commitments, including ending the war and withdrawing from Gaza. Hamas insisted on implementing the full agreement.
