Israel Hamas War: The death toll in the Gaza Strip has risen to more than 44,000 during the 13-month war between Israel and Hamas. Local health officials of Palestine gave this information on Thursday. The Gaza Health Ministry does not distinguish between civilians and combatants in its count, but said more than half of the dead were women and children. The Israeli army has said without providing any evidence that it has killed more than 17 thousand terrorists.
thousands of people buried under debris
The health ministry said 44,056 people have been killed and 104,268 injured since the war began. It is also said that the actual death toll is higher as thousands of bodies remain buried under debris or in areas where doctors cannot reach. The situation in Gaza is such that people are not even getting food and water. Lakhs of people have also been displaced.
Hamas carried out a terrorist attack
The war between the two sides began when Hamas-led militants attacked southern Israel on October 7, 2023, killing about 1,200 people. During this period, Hamas fighters abducted 250 people, of whom about 100 are still being held in Gaza, but at least a third of them are believed to have died.
