The death toll in Gaza has exceeded 60,000 since Israel launched its military offensive in October 2023, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. The majority of casualties include women and children, and the humanitarian situation has reached catastrophic levels, with UN-backed experts warning that famine is already underway. Israeli strikes and gunfire have killed dozens of Palestinians, including many waiting for desperately needed food aid, as aid deliveries remain severely restricted. International pressure is mounting on Israel to allow more humanitarian assistance and to implement a ceasefire, but attacks and starvation-related deaths continue. The crisis has displaced most of Gaza's population, and global agencies warn that immediate action is needed to prevent further mass starvation.
