The tally includes at least 43 deaths in the past 24 hours, a ministry statement said.
Among the dead are more than 14,500 children and 9,500 women in Gaza, Al Jazeera reported.
The death toll is estimated to be far higher with thousands believed buried in the debris of buildings collapsed during Israeli strikes.
Israel waged a genocidal war on the besieged Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian Hamas Resistance group carried out a historic operation against the occupying entity in retaliation for the regime’s intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.
Israel has imposed a complete siege on the densely populated territory, cutting off fuel, electricity, food, and water to the more than two million Palestinians living there.
