"Over 30,000 Palestinians Killed in Israel-Hamas War, Latest Updates"

More than 30,000 people have been killed in Gaza since the start of the Israel-Hamas war in October, with the majority being civilians, as Israel's bombing and ground campaigns have created a dire humanitarian crisis and displaced the majority of the population. International pressure is mounting on Israel to halt the conflict, with concerns over the suffering in the southern city of Rafah, where a fresh offensive is expected. The war has led to catastrophic levels of deprivation and starvation, with almost the entire population requiring food aid and one in six children under the age of two acutely malnourished. Efforts to secure a ceasefire and a deal for the return of hostages continue amidst high-stakes diplomatic negotiations.
