Gaza War Death Toll Surpasses 62,000, Says Palestinian Health Ministry
- On August 18, 2025, Hamas negotiators in Cairo received a new ceasefire proposal calling for a 60-day truce and phased hostage releases in Gaza.
- The proposal follows a war that began on October 7, 2023, when Hamas launched a terror attack on southern Israel killing 1,219 people and taking approximately 251 hostages.
- Egypt, Qatar, and the United States mediate efforts to broker this truce aimed at easing Gaza’s dire humanitarian crisis amid ongoing Israeli military actions and restrictions on aid.
- Gaza’s Health Ministry reports over 62,000 Palestinians killed since the war began, mostly civilians, and Amnesty International accuses Israel of a deliberate starvation policy.
- If accepted, the truce could allow hostage releases, humanitarian aid flow, and launch negotiations toward a permanent ceasefire with international guarantees.
