More than 30,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the Israel-Hamas war began after 7 October last year, according to officials at the Hamas-led Health Ministry in Gaza.
The United Nations and multiple humanitarian organizations consider the death toll and casualty numbers provided by Gaza’s Health Ministry to be broadly reliable.
Though the ministry does not differentiate between civilian and militant deaths, around half of Gaza’s 2.3 million inhabitants are children, and the UN says the majority of civilians killed have been women and children.
“The death toll in Gaza has surpassed 30,000 — a large majority women and children. Over 70,000 Palestinians have been injured. This horrific violence and suffering must end. Ceasefire,” said World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus in a post on X.
Fighting began when Hamas-led militants launched a large-scale terror attack in southern Israel, killing 1,200 people and taking around 250 hostages, of whom Israel says 130 remain in captivity.
Israel’s leadership vowed to destroy Hamas in the days that followed and began a ground offensive that has been expanded throughout the Palestinian territory.
Hamas is a designated terrorist organization by the EU, the US and a number of other countries.
