Gaza City, August 29 (AP) – According to a statement by the Gaza Health Ministry on Thursday, the death toll in Gaza has reached 63,025 amid the ongoing 22-month conflict between Israel and Hamas.
The toll exceeded 63,000 as Israel's intensified military offensive unfolded in Gaza City, with the region reeling from displacement, widespread destruction, and famine affecting parts of the territory.
The reported figures do not differentiate between combatants and civilians. The Ministry, overseen by the Hamas-led government, is staffed with medical professionals.
The United Nations and independent experts regard the Ministry as the most credible source for war casualty statistics. Israel contests these numbers but has not provided an alternative count. (AP) SCY SCY
