More than 60,000 people killed in Gaza during Israel offensive, Hamas-run health ministry says

More than 60,000 people have been killed as a result of Israel’s military campaign in Gaza since October 2023, the Hamas-run health ministry says.

It said on Monday that the death toll had reached at least 60,034, with 145,870 others injured.

At least 112 people were killed in the 24 hours before late Tuesday morning, with 22 people killed while trying to get aid, the ministry said

Israel launched its offensive in response to the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage.

The latest figures come as UN-backed global food security experts warn that the worst-case scenario of famine is “currently playing out” in the Gaza Strip.

While Israel continues to insist it is not responsible for the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza and does not impose restrictions on aid entering Gaza, those claims are not accepted by its close allies in Europe, or the United Nations and other agencies active in Gaza.

On Sunday, Israel, which controls all entry of goods into Gaza, began what it said would be daily 10-hour “tactical pauses” to allow for humanitarian aid delivery, and announced the establishment of “designated secure routes” for aid convoys.

It has also allowed aid drops by foreign countries to resume, despite humanitarian agencies warning that the method was ineffective and dangerous.
