The Gaza Health Ministry announced on Saturday that at least 23 people were killed in the Palestinian territory over the past 24 hours, just before a cease-fire agreement was set to take effect after more than 15 months of conflict.
This brings the death toll from the hostilities with Israel to over 46,899, according to a statement from the ministry. The statement also noted that 110,725 people have been injured in the Gaza Strip since the unprecedented attack by the Palestinian group on Israel that triggered the war on Oct. 7, 2023.
