The Gaza Strip's Government Media Office reported that 94 civilians, including 61 in Gaza City, were killed in 131 Israeli air and artillery raids between Saturday, October 4, 2025, and Sunday, October 5, 2025. The office stated on Sunday, October 5th, that these actions constitute genocide and disregard ceasefire calls from U.S. President Donald Trump, despite a positive response to a related proposal. The office urged the U.S. administration and the international community to take urgent action to stop the aggression. According to the Government Media Office's Press Release No. (988), the raids targeted densely populated areas and displaced persons across the Gaza Strip. The office holds the "Israeli" occupation fully responsible for these crimes and called for an end to the war in Gaza. This statement was issued from Gaza Strip, Palestine, on Sunday, October 5, 2025. These developments occur as Hamas delegation leader Khalil al-Haya arrived in Egypt on October 5th, 2025, just before 8:37 PM UTC, for negotiations. Concurrently, Doctors Without Borders announced the death of its 15th staff member in Gaza, though the specific timing of this announcement was not detailed in the reporting window. Additionally, a Spanish citizen, part of a flotilla, bit a medical staff member at Ketziot Prison on October 5th, 2025, in anticipation of deportation the following morning. Prime Minister Netanyahu had also prepared his team for negotiations in Sharm El Sheikh, according to i24news.
