A ministry statement said the tolls include four Palestinians killed in the Israeli fire and another Palestinian who died from his wounds in the past 48 hours, Anadolu reported.
Since October 2023, nearly 111,845 people have been injured in the onslaught of Israel in Gaza, the ministry said.
“Many victims are still trapped in tile rubs and roads because rescuers can’t reach them,” he added.
Since January 19, a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement was introduced in Gaza, halting the Israeli war that caused widespread destruction and left the Palestinian enclaves abandoned.
Despite the ceasefire, local governments in Gaza reported almost daily ceasefire violations by Israeli forces.
The International Criminal Court issued a warrant for arrests in November last year by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former defense minister Joab Gallant for crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Israel is also facing a genocide case in the International Court of Justice due to its war with the enclave.
