Death Toll Tops 45,000 - Gaza

People gather near a vehicle on a crowded street in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, on December 14, 2024. The gathering follows an Israeli army attack on Deir al-Balah City Hall, which killed 10 people, including Mayor Diyab al-Jaru. The death toll in the Gaza Strip from the 14-month war between Israel and Hamas militants has topped 45,000 people, Palestinian health officials said Monday. The Gaza Health Ministry said the real toll is likely higher because thousands of bodies are still buried under rubble or in areas that medics cannot access. Almost 107,000 have been injured since the start of the war, the ministry added. It does not distinguish between civilians and combatants in its count, but it has said that more than half of the fatalities are women and children.
