The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza says that at least 19,667 Palestinians have been killed in the Israel-Hamas war in the Strip since October 7.
According to the ministry, 52,586 people in Gaza have been wounded in more than two months of fighting.
The figures cannot be verified and Hamas does not differentiate between civilians and combatants. It also does not discriminate between those killed by Israel and those killed by the hundreds of rockets it fired that fell short in Gaza. Israel says it has killed more than 7,000 terrorists inside Gaza.
The war was sparked when Hamas invaded southern Israel, killing more than 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and taking some 240 hostages.
