Gaza’s Health Ministry reported 81 more Palestinians were killed in the past 24 hours due to ongoing Israeli airstrikes, with 53 of the victims from Gaza City alone. At least 169 were injured. Authorities believe the actual number of casualties is higher as many remain trapped under rubble. Since the war began over 18 months ago, a total of 53,977 people have been killed and 122,966 injured—56% of them women and children.
