Gaza healthcare nearing ‘total collapse’ due to Israeli strikes: UN
Israel has killed more than 45,500 Palestinians in the war in Gaza, according to health officials in the Hamas-run enclave.
Most of Gaza’s 2.3 million people have been displaced and much of the tiny coastal strip is in ruins.
The war was triggered by Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel, in which 1,200 people were killed and another 251 taken hostage to Gaza, according to Israeli tallies.
