In addition, two people have died of earlier injuries.
The total number of Palestinians killed since the war broke out in October 2023, after Hamas' attack on Israel, has now reached 73,001, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
About half of them are reported to be women and children.
In addition, over 173,200 Palestinians have been injured, many of them seriously.
The fragile ceasefire reached between Israel and Hamas in October put an end to Israel's full-scale offensive and meant that all remaining hostages were returned to Israel.
But Israeli forces have not withdrawn and Hamas has refused to disarm, with both sides accusing each other of violating the agreement.
