News Center — Israeli forces continue to breach the ceasefire in Gaza, opening fire in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood east of the besieged Gaza Strip and targeting eastern areas of Khan Younis. This resulted in the killing of two Palestinians, raising the death toll to 71,386 martyrs and 171,264 injured.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced on Sunday, January 4, that three fatalities and 13 injuries were received by Gaza hospitals over the past 24 hours, including one death caused by the collapse of a building in Khan Younis. The total number of victims of the Israeli genocide since October 2023 has thus reached 71,386 killed and 171,264 wounded.

In its statement, the ministry confirmed that a number of victims remain trapped under rubble and in streets, as ambulance and civil defense crews are unable to reach them due to extensive destruction and ongoing field dangers.

The daily statistical report indicated that since the ceasefire came into effect on October 11, 2025, the total number of deaths has reached 420, with 1,184 injuries, while 684 bodies have been recovered.

While the statement did not specify the circumstances surrounding the killings, Israeli forces continue to violate the ceasefire agreement in effect since October 10 through shelling, gunfire, and incursions into areas they were supposed to withdraw from under the agreement.

In addition to the human toll, the war has caused massive destruction, affecting 90% of Gaza’s civilian infrastructure, with reconstruction costs estimated by the United Nations at approximately $70 billion.

Suspension of 37 Organizations’ Activities

On the humanitarian front, Isabelle Defourny, President of Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders), warned on Saturday, January 3, that the organization may end its operations in Gaza by March if Israeli forces do not reverse their decision to ban MSF and 36 other organizations. The ban was justified by claims that the organizations failed to provide the names of Palestinian employees under a new law. MSF described the decision as a “blatant overreach.”

The Israeli Broadcasting Authority reported on Sunday, January 4, that authorities have begun revoking the operating licenses of 37 international organizations providing aid to Gaza, citing their refusal to submit lists of employee names.
