The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza reported, Tuesday, that hospitals across the Strip received five Palestinians killed and six injured during the past 24 hours, as ongoing Israeli attacks and the collapse of essential services continue to endanger civilians.
The ministry said an unknown number of victims remain trapped under the rubble and in the streets, with ambulance and civil defense crews still unable to reach them due to widespread destruction and access restrictions.
The ministry confirmed the death of a one‑year‑old child from severe cold, raising the number of children who have died from extreme winter conditions since the start of the season to seven.

It also reported that three Palestinians were killed in a building collapse, bringing the total number of deaths caused by structural failures during the current crisis to 24.
Since the “ceasefire” announced on 11 October, the cumulative toll has risen to 447 Palestinians killed, 1,246 injured, and 697 bodies recovered from beneath destroyed structures.
According to the ministry’s updated figures, the overall casualty count since the beginning of the genocide in Gaza on October 7, 2023, has reached 71,424 Palestinians killed and 171,324 injured.
