Over 60,000 Palestinians killed in the 21-month Israel-Hamas war, Gaza’s Health Ministry says
DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip: Over 60,000 Palestinians have been killed in the 21-month Israel-Hamas war, Gaza’s Health Ministry said Tuesday.
Israeli strikes overnight killed more than two dozen people, mostly women and children, according to health officials.
Israel’s offensive, launched in response to Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 attack, has destroyed vast areas of Gaza, displaced around 90 percent of the population and fueled a catastrophic humanitarian crisis.
Experts warned Tuesday that the territory of some 2 million Palestinians is on the brink of famine after Israeli restrictions and a breakdown of security have made it nearly impossible to safely deliver aid.
