Gaza death toll from Israeli genocide approaches 63,000

The health ministry said on Thursday that Israel’s war on Gaza has now killed at least 62,966 Palestinians and wounded 159,266 since 7 October  2023.

It added that the death toll among people seeking aid has risen to 2,180, with more than 16,046 wounded, since Israel introduced a new so-called aid distribution system with the US-based GHF on 27 May that has been widely condemned as a death trap.
