US EditionOver 60,000 Palestinians have died in the 21-month Israel-Hamas war, Gaza’s Health Ministry says
GAZA STRIP, AUG 01 – The war has displaced 90% of Gaza's population and caused severe food shortages, with over 60,000 killed since October 2023, according to Gaza's Health Ministry.
- Gaza's Health Ministry reported on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, that over 60,000 Palestinians have died in the 21-month Israel-Hamas war, with 145,870 wounded.
- The conflict began with a Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, that killed around 1,200 people and abducted 251, sparking extensive Israeli military operations and a blockade.
- Israel imposed a total blockade in early March barring food, medicine, and fuel, leading to a catastrophic humanitarian crisis with repeated military strikes killing civilians and displacing 90% of Gaza's population.
- Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar rejected claims of starvation policies on Tuesday, describing aid pressure as a "distorted campaign of international pressure" that harms ceasefire chances by hardening Hamas's stance.
- The continuing violence and blockade have worsened Gaza’s dire situation, with recent days seeing at least 70 Palestinians killed and international organizations warning of a looming famine crisis.
