The Palestinian Health Ministry reported Monday that more than 62,000 Palestinians have died in the 22-month conflict in Gaza. At least 60 people were killed in the past 24 hours, bringing the total death toll since the Israel-Hamas war began on October 7, 2023, to 62,004. Another 156,230 people have been wounded.
The ministry said 1,965 people have died while seeking aid or near distribution sites, including at least seven on Monday morning. The figures, widely regarded as the most reliable by the UN, do not distinguish between civilians and combatants.
