Story summary

Since 10 October 2023, when a ceasefire was agreed upon following Hamas's attack on Israel that killed about 1,200 people and took 251 hostages, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza due to near-daily Israeli strikes. The ceasefire led to the release of thousands of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel in exchange for hostages.

According to Gaza's health ministry, which is considered reliable by the UN, the total death toll from Israeli strikes since the start of hostilities now exceeds 74,000.
