Gaza’s health ministry has announced that 40,005 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s military offensive on the Palestinian territory after the 7 October attack by Hamas last year. The ministry added that 92,401 Palestinians had been injured.
Türk said: ‘On average, about 130 people have been killed every day in Gaza over the past 10 months. The scale of the Israeli military’s destruction of homes, hospitals, schools and places of worship is deeply shocking’
