Story summary

The Palestinian death toll from the nearly three-year Israel-Hamas war has surpassed 74,000, with over 175,000 people injured, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. The conflict began on October 7, 2023, when Hamas-led militants attacked Israel, killing around 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages. A ceasefire took effect on October 10, but Israeli military operations continue in response to perceived threats or attacks. Since the ceasefire, 1,145 Palestinians have died, with women and children comprising about half of all casualties. Despite ongoing violence, a new Palestinian government has yet to be established and reconstruction efforts remain stalled, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insists that Israeli forces will not withdraw until Hamas disarms.
