The Hamas-run health ministry says that at least 39,175 people have been killed since the start of the war in Gaza, and 90,403 people have been wounded.

The toll cannot be verified and does not differentiate between civilians and fighters. Israel says it has killed some 15,000 combatants in battle and some 1,000 terrorists inside Israel during the October 7 attack.

Israel’s toll in the ground offensive against Hamas in Gaza and in military operations along the border with the Strip stands at 327.
