The health ministry in war-torn Gaza said on Sunday that at least 42,603 people have been killed in the war between Israel and Palestinian armed groups, although the toll did not incorporate a strike that killed dozens overnight according to rescuers.

The toll includes 84 deaths in the previous 24 hours, according to the ministry, which said 99,795 people have been wounded in the Gaza Strip since the war began when Hamas fighters attacked Israel on October 7, 2023.
