Palestinian death toll in Gaza hits 34,151

Another 77,084 have been wounded, the Health Ministry says.

The death toll is likely far higher with thousands believed buried under the rubble of buildings demolished in Israeli strikes, Al Jazeera reported.

Among the dead are more than 14,500 children and 9,500 women, Gaza’s media office says.

Israel waged a genocidal war on the besieged Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian Hamas Resistance group carried out a historic operation against the occupying entity in retaliation for the regime’s intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.

Israel has imposed a complete siege on the densely populated territory, cutting off fuel, electricity, food, and water to the more than two million Palestinians living there.
