The death toll from the ongoing Palestine-Israel conflict has exceeded 15,500. This has been confirmed by official data published by both parties.
According to Hamas's government media office, the number of Palestinian casualties in the Gaza Strip has exceeded 14,000 since the current Israel-Hamas conflict broke out on October 7.
Ismail al-Thawabta, director general of the media office, told a news conference that 5,840 children and 3,920 women were among the dead, while more than 33,000 others were injured.
He said the number of missing people exceeded 6,800, including 4,500 children and women under the rubble of buildings destroyed by Israeli attacks.
In the West Bank, at least 218 people have been killed in the conflict since Tuesday evening, with more than 2,850 wounded, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
On the Israeli side, government data show that around 1,200 people have lost their lives.
UN chief Antonio Guterres said on Monday that in the current conflict between Israeli forces and Palestinian militants in Gaza, where thousands of children have been killed in recent weeks, the world is witnessing an "unprecedented and unprecedented" level of violence since he took office in 2017.
Of Gaza's 2.3 million people, 1.7 million are now displaced, Guterres said. (A2 Televizion)
