Palestinian death toll in Gaza tops 73,000, officials say, as Israel strikes despite ceasefire

The Palestinian death toll in Gaza has exceeded 73,000, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, as Israel continues strikes despite a stalled ceasefire. Over 173,200 people have been wounded since the war began, and five Israeli soldiers have died since the truce. The U.S.-brokered ceasefire, which ended full-scale military operations and secured hostage releases, remains deadlocked over Hamas disarming and Israeli troop withdrawals.
