The number of Palestinians killed since the start of the war in the Gaza Strip a year ago is reached 42,010, and the wounded numbered 97,720, according to data published today by the “Hamas“ Ministry of Health of the territory, reported DPA, quoted by BTA.
The agency specifies that these statistics do not distinguish between civilians and combatants. These numbers cannot be independently verified, but international organizations such as the United Nations consider them relatively plausible.
According to Palestinian sources, most of the dead and wounded are the result of recent Israeli military operations in northern Gaza. The main strikes are reported to be targeting the Shejaya area as well as the Jabalia refugee camps. and “Nuseirat“.
Palestinian rescuers described the Israeli offensive as extremely intense, saying that in most cases they were unable to reach the wounded because of the heavy fighting.
Doctors said nine members of a family were killed in an Israeli airstrike on a residential building. This information could not be independently confirmed, and the Israeli armed forces have not yet commented on the case.
The war was triggered by the attack of the Palestinian group “Hamas” against southern Israel on October 7, 2023, in which, according to Israeli authorities, 1,200 people died and about 250 were kidnapped. Since then, Israel has been trying to destroy “Hamas”, DPA noted.
