The death toll in Gaza continues to rise despite the ceasefire – over 70,000 Palestinians are now reported to have been killed since the Gaza War broke out.

The new figures come as reports emerged that two children were killed in an Israeli drone strike near a school on Saturday.

The Israeli military has not commented on the incident.

Since the ceasefire was declared on October 10, Israel has killed 354 Palestinians in Gaza, according to the Hamas-controlled Health Ministry, whose figures are considered credible by the UN and a number of independent experts.

A total of 70,100 people are now reported to have been killed in Gaza since the war broke out with the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7, 2023.

Meanwhile, the humanitarian situation in Gaza remains dire. The UN says that emergency aid deliveries are still limited and that 16,500 Gazans are in urgent need of medical care outside Gaza, as not a single hospital in the territory is fully functional.
