Hamas-run health ministry: Gazan death toll in war now 32,705
The Hamas-controlled health ministry in Gaza says that at least 32,705 people have been killed in the territory during more than five months of war between Israel and the Palestinian terror group.
The toll includes at least 82 deaths over the past 24 hours, a ministry statement says, adding that 75,190 people have been wounded in the Gaza Strip since the war was triggered by the devastating Hamas-led onslaught against Israel on October 7.
The Hamas-run ministry’s figures, which are unverified, do not differentiate between fighters and civilians, and are also believed to include Palestinians killed by terrorists’ misfired rockets.
