Gaza death toll surpasses 50,000 as conflict escalates
The number of Palestinian deaths in Gaza has now surpassed 50,000. This tragic milestone comes after Israel resumed its military operations against Hamas, breaking a temporary ceasefire. Gaza's Health Ministry reported that as of Sunday, the death toll stands at 50,021 since the conflict began in October 2023. The war escalated when Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, killing nearly 1,200 people and taking about 250 hostages. Israel launched its military campaign in response to this attack. The aim is to dismantle Hamas and secure the release of the captives. Currently, efforts to negotiate a ceasefire have stalled, leaving the situation tense and uncertain. This remains an ongoing situation, and further updates are expected as events develop.
