Al Jazeera reports that 51,025 Palestinians have been killed during Israel’s military offensive on Gaza since October 2023, citing figures from the enclave’s health ministry.

According to the ministry, 25 people have been killed in Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip since early this morning, while Israeli attacks have killed 1,652 people and wounded 4,391 in the territory since Israel broke the ceasefire with Hamas on March 18.

Since fighting broke out on October 7, 2023, 51,025 Palestinians have been killed and 116,432 have been wounded. Thousands are still considered missing, the ministry adds.

Additionally, no aid has entered since March 2, risking a surge in malnutrition, disease and other preventable conditions.

About 400,000 people have been forcibly displaced in the last three weeks.
