Summary
The Gaza Health Ministry announces that the death toll from the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas has surpassed 44,000, with over half being women and children. Since the conflict began on October 7, 2023, the Israeli military claims to have killed over 17,000 militants while facing accusations of war crimes from Palestinian officials and rights groups. The humanitarian situation is dire, as 90% of Gaza's population is displaced, with many living in inadequate conditions. Recent talks for a cease-fire between the US, Egypt, and Qatar have stalled, heightening concerns over famine in northern Gaza.
