The Gaza Strip has witnessed a devastating toll in the ongoing 14-month war between Israel and Hamas militants, with Palestinian health officials reporting over 45,000 deaths. In the past 24 hours alone, 52 individuals have been confirmed dead, adding to the grim statistics.
The Gaza Health Ministry's data does not differentiate between civilians and combatants, but it has noted that more than half of the fatalities are women and children. On the other hand, the Israeli military claims to have killed over 17,000 militants, although no evidence has been provided to support this claim.
