Two more Palestinians have been killed by Israeli occupation forces in Gaza, raising the death toll to 356 since the ceasefire between the Tel Aviv regime and the Hamas resistance movement went into effect, the besieged territory`s Health Ministry says.

In its latest update, the ministry said on Sunday three more Palestinians were confirmed killed and two wounded in the past 24-hour reporting period. The figures include two newly reported deaths and one body recovered.

Since the ceasefire came into effect on October 11, the ministry said it has recorded 356 deaths and 908 wounded.

There have also been 607 recoveries of bodies of people who were killed in earlier attacks.

It warned that "a number of victims remain under the rubble and on the roads," with ambulance and civil defense crews still unable to reach them.

The ministry urged families of the dead and missing to complete their information through its official registration platform.

In the most recent aggression, Israeli forces have reportedly killed four people in eastern Rafah, in southern Gaza, as the army continues carrying out attacks in the military-controlled yellow zone across the Gaza Strip.

Israeli forces have killed at least 70,103 people in Gaza, most of them women and children, since October 2023.

The ministry said that the number of wounded during that time had reached 170,985.

This grim milestone comes as Israel continues to violate a delicate US-brokered ceasefire in Gaza through almost daily attacks.

Gaza remains entrenched in a dire humanitarian crisis, characterized by extensive devastation, displacement, and shortages of essential provisions such as food, clean water, medical supplies, and fuel.

On October 10, a ceasefire took effect in the Gaza Strip based on a phased plan presented by US President Donald Trump. The first phase included the release of Israeli captives in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.

Israel accepted the Gaza truce deal after two years, following the failure to achieve its declared objectives of eliminating Hamas and freeing all captives, despite killing thousands of Palestinians.

Despite the truce, conditions remain dire. Many Palestinians attempting to return to their homes in northern Gaza face "a daily struggle for survival." Large parts of the region remain inaccessible due to the continued presence of Israeli occupation forces.
