Gaza death toll crosses 35,900 as Gaza war drags on

At least 35,984 Palestinians have been killed and 80,643 injured in Israel’s military offensive on Gaza since Oct. 7, Gaza’s health ministry said in a statement on Sunday.

The death toll is estimated to be far higher with thousands believed buried in the debris of buildings collapsed during Israeli strikes.

Israel waged a genocidal war on the besieged Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian Hamas Resistance group carried out a historic operation against the occupying entity in retaliation for the regime’s intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.

Israel has imposed a complete siege on the densely populated territory, cutting off fuel, electricity, food, and water to the more than two million Palestinians living there.
