At least 31,645 Palestinians killed in Israel’s offensive on Gaza: Ministry

GAZA: The health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza said Sunday that at least 31,645 people have been killed in the territory during more than five months of war between Israel and Palestinian militants.

The latest toll includes at least 92 deaths in the previous 24 hours, a ministry statement said, adding that 73,676 people have been wounded in Gaza since the war began when Hamas militants attacked Israel on October 7.

Repeated efforts to agree a ceasefire and exchange hostages for prisoners have so far fallen apart this year, despite mounting international pressure over the human cost of Israel’s ground and air assault in Gaza.
