Palestinian deaths in Gaza rise above 50,000 as Israel expands its military campaign
The number of Palestinians killed in the Gaza Strip since the start of Israel’s war with Hamas has surpassed 50,000, according to health officials in Gaza.
Gaza’s Health Ministry said Sunday the Palestinian death toll in Gaza had risen to 50,021 since Israel’s military offensive began in October 2023.
It is the latest milestone in the conflict, which reignited when Israel broke a ceasefire with the Palestinian militant group Hamas last Tuesday.
On Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas led an attack from Gaza into Israel that killed almost 1,200 people and took about 250 captive. Israel responded with a military campaign to destroy Hamas and free the hostages. Negotiations to end the war have stalled.
