More than 40,000 Palestinians have been killed in 10 months of war in Gaza, health ministry says | CNN
The health ministry in Gaza reports that over 40,000 Palestinians have died since the onset of the conflict with Israel, marking a grim milestone in the 10-month war. The latest figures indicate that approximately one in every 55 people in the enclave has been killed, with the majority being women and children. The ongoing violence has resulted in more than 92,401 injuries.
As ceasefire talks are set to begin, the situation remains precarious following recent Israeli strikes that have intensified the conflict. International pressure is mounting on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to negotiate a ceasefire and secure the release of hostages taken by Hamas during the initial attacks on October 7.
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza continues to worsen, with nearly all residents displaced and living under dire conditions. Aid organizations express deep concern for the families affected, highlighting a growing sense of despair and disillusionment with the international community's response to the ongoing violence.
