The number of Palestinians killed in the Gaza Strip since the start of Israel's war with Hamas has surpassed 50,000, according to health officials in Gaza.
Gaza's Health Ministry said Sunday the Palestinian death toll in Gaza had risen to 50,021 since Israel's military offensive began in October 2023, following the Hamas-led attack on Israel.
It is the latest milestone in the conflict, which reignited when Israel broke a ceasefire with the Palestinian militant group last Tuesday.
On Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas led an attack from Gaza into Israel that killed almost 1,200 people and took 251 captive, according to Israeli government figures. Israel responded with a military campaign to destroy Hamas and free the hostages. Negotiations to end the war broke down last week.
The Israeli military said on Sunday that it was ordering mass evacuations of Palestinians from southern Gaza, as it launched an offensive in a part of Rafah. Many Palestinians had just returned to their homes, during a ceasefire that began in January, after months of being displaced by the fighting.
