The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says 75 Palestinians were confirmed killed over the past 24 hours, and more than 300 wounded by Israeli fire in the Strip were brought to hospitals. The toll includes four people previously killed whose bodies were recovered from rubble.
Gaza authorities do not differentiate between civilians and combatants.
The numbers bring the tally of war dead claimed by Gazan health officials to 65,283.
The ministry also says that four more people died of malnutrition and starvation in the enclave, raising deaths from such causes to 440 people, including 147 children, since the war started.
Israel has disputed claims of widespread famine in Gaza, but has admitted “there are issues of access to food” in some areas.
