"Israel-Hamas Conflict: Gaza Death Toll Surpasses 10,000, Sparks Global Outrage"

The Hamas-controlled health ministry in Gaza has reported that over 10,000 people, including 4,104 children, have been killed in the Israeli military offensive that began nearly a month ago. The numbers suggest that about three-quarters of the dead are from vulnerable populations. The United Nations has warned that Gaza is "becoming a graveyard for children" and has launched a $1.2 billion humanitarian appeal. Israel has accused Hamas of using civilian infrastructure as shields for its attacks, while Hamas has called for international verification of these claims. The conflict has triggered protests worldwide and raised concerns of potential intervention from Iran-backed militants.
