WHO Says Gaza Hospitals Remain Under Strain as Aid Supplies Face Long Delays

The war began after Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, which killed 1,221 people, according to an AFP tally based on official Israeli figures. Israel’s subsequent military campaign has devastated large parts of Gaza. Gaza’s health ministry, which operates under Hamas authorities, has reported more than 74,000 deaths; the United Nations has considered its casualty figures broadly reliable.
