The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry says at least 26,637 people have been killed in the Strip during the ongoing war.

The latest toll includes 215 deaths over the past 24 hours, the ministry says, while 65,387 people have been wounded since October 7.

The death toll cannot be independently verified and is believed to include close to 10,000 Hamas operatives.
