Palestinian deaths in Gaza rise above 50,000 as Israel expands its military campaign
Briefly

The conflict between Israel and Hamas has escalated dramatically, with the Palestinian death toll exceeding 50,000. This figure was reported by Gaza's Health Ministry following Israel's military offensive that began in October after Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, killing many and taking hostages. As part of the military campaign to destroy Hamas, Israel has initiated mass evacuations in southern Gaza, impacting thousands of families who had only recently returned home. The situation remains dire, with ongoing violence and chaos reported in affected areas.
"The Israelis started to shoot at us as we were going out through the safe zone. Tanks are now advancing towards us, firing rounds and causing chaos in the streets."
"A rocket fell right in between us and their bodies. We had no time to process what was happening."
