Israel has wiped out 1,410 Palestinian families in Gaza completely from the Palestinian civil registry since October 2023, the Ministry of Health has said.

At least 7,160 families have been targeted, said the ministry, with at least 2,287 families subjected to direct bombardments, with more than one survivor from each.

The death toll from the ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip has risen to 44,282, with an additional 104,880 Palestinians wounded. An estimated 11,000 remain missing, presumed dead, under the rubble of their homes and other civilian infrastructure destroyed by Israel.
