Gaza Death Toll Exceeds 50,000 as Israel Intensifies Military Campaign

The collapse of a two-month ceasefire has led to renewed airstrikes and ground operations, worsening the humanitarian crisis and escalating the conflict.

Over 50,000 Palestinians have been killed since the start of the war in October 2023, with the majority reported to be women and children, according to Gaza's Health Ministry.
Israel resumed its military operations on March 18, ending a ceasefire and launching a new phase of airstrikes and ground incursions targeting Hamas leaders and infrastructure.
An Israeli airstrike on March 23 killed senior Hamas official Salah al-Bardawil and his wife, further heightening tensions.
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has deepened, with widespread displacement, blocked aid, and increasing reports of famine and disease.
Israeli officials have vowed to continue operations until Hamas is destroyed and hostages are released, with plans to annex parts of Gaza if demands are not met.
