At least 35,173 Palestinians have been killed and 79,061 wounded in Gaza since the start of the war on October 7, according to figures released by the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry.
The ministry claims there have been 82 Palestinians killed and 234 injured over the past 24 hours.
These figures have not been independently verified. The UN says some 24,000 fatalities have been identified at hospitals. The rest of the total figure is based on murkier Hamas “media reports.” It also includes some 15,000 terror operatives Israel says it has killed in battle. Israel also says it killed some 1,000 terrorists inside Israel on October 7.
