The Palestinian death toll from the conflict between Israel and Hamas has exceeded 25,000, with over 62,000 wounded, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, Associated Press reports.
The Health Ministry in Gaza claims 25,105 Palestinians killed and 62,681 wounded. The conflict has displaced 85% of Gaza’s residents, and there are reports of food shortages. The Israeli military claims to have killed around 9,000 militants and attributes the high civilian death toll to Hamas using densely populated areas for military purposes.
Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu rejects Hamas’ demands for a ceasefire and withdrawal in exchange for the remaining hostages, expressing concerns about potential future attacks. Relatives of hostages have set up a tent camp outside Netanyahu’s residence, demanding their release and criticizing the government’s handling of the situation.
