Gaza hospital tally distinguishes newly killed people from recovered bodies

WAFA reported on 26 October 2026 that Gaza hospitals received 11 bodies and recorded 35 injuries over the preceding day, citing medical sources. The bodies comprised eight newly killed people and three recovered remains.

That distinction matters: hospital receipt on a given day does not necessarily date a death to that day. The sources put cumulative deaths at 74,555 and injuries at 175,727 since October 2023, with other victims still inaccessible. These are dated medical-source figures, not an independent count or final toll.
