Over 40K Palestinians have been killed by Israel’s offensive in Gaza: Health Ministry
[ad_1]
More than 40,000 Palestinians have been killed in the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, the territory’s Health Ministry said Thursday.
Israel’s offensive has also wounded 92,401 people and displaced over 85% of the population from their homes, the ministry in Hamas-run Gaza said.
It does not distinguish between civilians and militants in its toll.
The announcement came during yet another push from international mediators to broker a cease-fire in the war, now in its 11th month.
The conflict began Oct. 7 after Hamas-led militants attacked southern Israel, killing some 1,200 people — most of them civilians — and dragging roughly 250 hostages to Gaza.
