"Rising Death Toll in Gaza: UN Condemns Deadly Aid Incident as Israelis Open Fire"

The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza reports that more than 30,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed since the conflict began on 7 October. The actual number of casualties is likely higher, as many have not reached hospitals. The World Health Organization notes an increasing number of civilian deaths, particularly among women and children. The ongoing conflict has led to a shortage of medical care, with a quarter of Gaza's population now at risk of famine and a dramatic increase in infectious diseases.
