Israeli attacks in Gaza have killed more than 70,000 people in over two years of war, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry, as the death toll continues to climb despite the ongoing ceasefire.
Israel’s offensive in Gaza has killed at least 70,100 people since Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, which equates to more than 3% of the 2.3 million people living in the enclave. A further 170,983 people have been wounded.
The World Health Organization has said that the numbers given by health officials in Gaza are reputable.
A ceasefire between Israel and Hamas remains in effect but has been tested by repeated outbreaks of violence, as Gaza’s residents face hunger, flooding and the onset of a bitter winter.
Israeli fire killed two Palestinian children in the southern Gaza Strip on Saturday. The two brothers, ages 11 and 8, died when an Israeli drone struck close to a school sheltering displaced people in the town of Beni Suhaila, according to staff at Nasser Hospital, which received the bodies.
