The Gaza Health Ministry reported on July 21, 2025, that the Palestinian death toll has surpassed 59,000, with 59,029 killed and 142,135 wounded since the Israel-Hamas war began on October 7, 2023. The ministry, part of Gaza’s Hamas-run government, notes that over half of the fatalities are women and children, though it does not differentiate between civilians and combatants. The war, triggered by Hamas’s attack on Israel, continues to devastate Gaza, with many more believed to be trapped under rubble.
