Israeli attacks across Gaza have killed at least 62,686 people and wounded 157,951, the Palestinian health ministry in the enclave has said, Al Jazeera reports.

In the latest 24-hour reporting period, the bodies of 64 people and 278 injured Palestinians have been brought to hospitals across the besieged enclave, hospital officials said.

Moreover, the bodies of 19 people killed while seeking aid and 123 wounded aid seekers were brought to Gaza’s health facilities in the past 24 hours.

The latest deaths raise the total number of aid seekers who have been killed by Israeli fire since the establishment of the US- and Israel-backed GHF at the end of May to 2,095, with more than 15,431 wounded.
