The Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry reports that over 50,000 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip since the war began, accounting for about 2.1% of the population. Additionally, 113,274 people have been injured. The United Nations considers the ministry’s figures reliable, though Israel disputes them. International journalists are blocked from entering Gaza independently to verify claims. The UN previously reported that nearly 70% of verified victims were women and children. The war began after Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, which killed about 1,200 people. Israel’s response has caused large-scale destruction and ongoing casualties. ( PC: Getty Images)
