Gaza-based health authorities reported on Saturday that the Palestinian death toll from Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip has reached 70,100 as of November 29, 2025. The figure marks a grim milestone two years after hostilities escalated in October 2023.
While the current intensity of fighting has decreased compared to earlier phases of the conflict, sporadic clashes continue to displace civilians and strain humanitarian aid networks. UN agencies estimate over 1.8 million residents remain internally displaced across the territory, with reconstruction efforts hampered by ongoing security concerns and resource shortages.
The announcement comes as diplomatic efforts to broker a lasting ceasefire regain momentum ahead of the 2026 international peace conference scheduled for January. Analysts note the death toll update could influence discussions about transitional justice mechanisms and postwar recovery plans being drafted by multilateral institutions.
