01 · THE DISPATCH

The Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry has updated its cumulative casualty figures since October 7, 2023, reporting 73,051 killed and 173,437 wounded in the Strip. The latest update adds 8 deaths and 20 wounded over the past 24 hours, according to the ministry. The cumulative toll since the ceasefire ended and hostilities resumed stands at 1,038 dead and 3,329 wounded, the ministry said. The figures are not independently verified and do not distinguish between combatants and civilians, consistent with the ministry's methodology throughout the conflict. As The Zioneer has previously reported in prior bulletins (BACKGROUND relation), the ministry periodically issues such updates, with the previous cumulative count standing at 73,035 as of June 22, and 73,003 as of June 15. The numbers remain unverified by independent sources.
