The health ministry in Gaza has just released its latest report on the number of people killed and wounded by Israel’s military offensive on the territory, Al Jazeera reports.

In a statement, it said a total of 19 killed — seven newly killed, 12 bodies recovered — were recorded and 26 wounded people arrived in hospitals during the past 48 hours.

This brought the confirmed number of people killed in Israeli attacks since October 7 to at least 48,543, with 111,981 others wounded, the ministry added.

Many victims remain under the rubble, while the Government Media Office in Gaza has put the death toll at more than 61,000, saying thousands of people missing under the rubble are now presumed dead.
