The death toll in the blockaded Gaza Strip has risen to at least 73,098 following continued Israeli attacks, according to the latest daily update from Gaza’s Health Ministry released on July 6, 2026. The ministry reported that five people were killed and seven others injured in the past 24 hours. Two additional bodies were recovered from under the rubble, and three more people were recently confirmed dead. The total number of injured since the start of the conflict has reached 173,571.

The Health Ministry stated that Israeli strikes have persisted despite a ceasefire that took effect in October of the previous year. Since that time, at least 1,072 people have been killed and 3,463 injured in Gaza. The figures highlight the ongoing humanitarian toll of the conflict and the continued violation of the ceasefire agreement.

The report, sourced from Al Jazeera and cited by local media, underscores the sustained violence and the worsening situation for civilians in Gaza.
