More than 50,000 Palestinians have been killed during Israel’s military campaign in Gaza, the territory’s Hamas-run health ministry has announced.
That number – 50,021 – equates to about 2.1% of the 2.3 million pre-war population of Gaza, or around 1 in 46 people.
A total of 113,274 others had been injured in the same period, the health ministry said.
Figures from the Gaza Ministry of Health (MoH) have been widely used throughout the war and are seen as reliable by the United Nations and international institutions. But Israel has consistently refuted data published by Gaza’s authorities.
International journalists, including the BBC, are blocked by Israel from entering Gaza independently, so are unable to verify figures from either side.
The figures released by the MoH for the number of people killed do not differentiate between civilians and fighters.
