Short version

Since the outbreak of the war between Israel and Hamas on October 7 last year, at least 39,929 Palestinians have been killed in the Gaza Strip, according to the ministry.

After more than ten months of war, at least 92,240 Palestinians have been injured in Israeli attacks, according to the report.

These figures have not been confirmed elsewhere, but the United Nations considers the Palestinian health authorities' figures reliable, and they are consistent with what independent experts have calculated.

These figures do not include the large number of people believed to be buried under the rubble of buildings attacked by Israeli forces.
