Gaza Strip - January 27, 2025 The Palestinian death toll in Gaza since October 7, 2023 has risen to 47,417, with 111,571 others injured, Gaza-based health authorities reported in a statement on Wednesday noon. Although the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire agreement is being implemented as planned, the death toll in the strip continues to grow. In the past 24 hours, two Palestinians were killed in the enclave by the Israeli military despite the ceasefire, while two others succumbed to earlier injuries and 59 bodies were recovered from rubble, according to the health authorities. Gaza's Government Media Office said on Wednesday afternoon that more than half a million displaced Palestinians had returned to the northern Gaza Strip via al-Rashid and Salah al-Din streets in the past 72 hours, according to a report from Al Jazeera. The report said some returnees have been heading back to the center of the enclave after finding no water, food, shelter or sanitation in the north. Since 07:00 on Monday, the Israeli army allowed people in the Gaza Strip to walk back to northern Gaza via the coastal highway, Al-Rashid Street. From 09:00 on the same day, the Israeli army allowed cars and other vehicles to return to northern Gaza via Salah al-Din Street after undergoing security checks. Meanwhile, two senior Hamas officials on Wednesday accused Israel of slowing down aid deliveries, including items key to Gaza's recovery such as fuel, tents, heavy machinery and other equipment. The Hamas official warned that the delays or failures of aid deliveries will affect prisoner exchanges. Israel hit back at the accusation, with a spokesman for COGAT, the Israeli defense ministry body that oversees civil affairs in the Palestinian territories, claiming that "3,000 trucks entered Gaza" between Sunday and 1100 GMT on Wednesday in line with the first phase of the ceasefire agreement which calls for 4,200 trucks a week.
