More than 55,000 Palestinians have been killed in the Israel-Hamas war, Gaza health officials say

The Israel-Hamas war began with Hamas militants killing about 1,200 people and abducting 251 hostages on October 7, 2023, in southern Israel.
The conflict escalated due to hostilities resulting in a prolonged military campaign marked by a two-and-a-half-month Israeli blockade and ongoing violence.
Israeli military operations have leveled large parts of Gaza, forced nearly 90% of its residents to flee, and recently established a security zone covering more than half of the coastal region, including the mostly empty southern city of Rafah.
The Gaza Health Ministry reported 55,104 killed and 127,394 wounded since the war began, with women and children comprising over half the dead, while Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu vowed to continue until all hostages return and Hamas is defeated.
The war shows no sign of ending as Israeli restrictions and security concerns have hindered aid delivery, while international actors criticize plans for Gaza’s population relocation as possible forcible expulsion.
