The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza has reported a staggering death toll of more than 43,000 people in the yearlong conflict with Israel. Shockingly, over half of the casualties were women and children, highlighting the devastating impact of the war on civilians.
According to the ministry's latest update on Monday, 96 individuals lost their lives in the past two days alone, underscoring the ongoing violence and bloodshed in the region. Since the war erupted on October 7, 2023, a total of 43,020 people have been killed, with an additional 101,110 individuals sustaining injuries.
Of significant note is the ministry's decision not to distinguish between militants and civilians in its casualty count, emphasizing the indiscriminate nature of the conflict's toll on human lives. The continuous cycle of violence has left communities in Gaza reeling from the immense loss and suffering, with no end in sight to the devastating impact on innocent civilians.
