The Gaza health ministry said at least 45,028 people have been killed and 106,962 others have been wounded since the conflict began on 7 October 2023, when Hamas militants crossed into Israel and massacred 1,200 people.
The number of people killed in Gaza in the 14-month Israel-Hamas war has now exceeded 45,000, Palestinian health officials say. The Gaza health ministry does not distinguish between civilians and combatants in its count but said that more than half of the fatalities are women and children.
A separate strike on a school on Sunday in the southern city of Khan Younis killed at least 13 people, including six children and two women, according to Nasser Hospital. The attacks were part of Israel's war in Gaza that erupted after Hamas militants led an assault into southern Israel, killing around 1,200 people and taking about 250 hostages. Most of the hostages have been released but around 100 remain in Gaza - a third of whom are believed to be dead.
