Total Death Tolls:
• Since the ceasefire agreement went into effect in Gaza on October 11, 2025, 312 Palestinians have been killed, 760 have been injured, and 572 bodies have been uncovered from under the rubble of their homes.
• The number of Palestinians killed since October 7, 2023, has reached 69,546, with 170,833 injured.
• The Israeli military continues to demolish homes and neighborhoods east of the Yellow Line in Gaza. Several Palestinians were killed as they were spotted inside the Yellow Line or as they approached it. The Israeli military treats the Yellow Line as the new border of the Gaza Strip and Palestinians are not allowed to be there.
• A flight carrying Palestinians from Gaza landed in South Africa. After initial investigation, it appears that those Palestinians were evacuated by an Israeli organization named Al-Majd, the Arabic word for glory. They transited in another African country before departing to South Africa without a prior coordination. They had to hand over their IDs and passports to the Israeli military before they left Gaza.
