“The number of Palestinians killed in the Gaza Strip since the start of Israel’s war with Hamas has surpassed 50,000, according to health officials in Gaza. Gaza’s Health Ministry said Sunday the Palestinian death toll in Gaza had risen to 50,021 since Israel’s military offensive began in October 2023. It is the latest milestone in the conflict, which reignited when Israel broke a ceasefire with the Palestinian militant group Hamas last Tuesday.” [editor’s note: The real number is likely much higher – TLK] (03/23/25)
