JAKARTA - The number of deaths in the Gaza Strip since the increase in the Hamas-Israeli conflict has surpassed 30,000, with the majority of them being women and children, said Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO) Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

The victims killed in Gaza have surpassed 30,000 people most of them are women and children," Tedros wrote on platform X as reported by ANTARA from Sputnik.

Tedros also said more than 70,000 Palestinians were injured as a result of the Israeli attack.

On October 7, 2023, Hamas launched a large-scale rocket strike against Israel from Gaza and violated the border, killing 1,200 people and kidnapping about 240 others.

Israel launched a counter-attack, ordered a total blockade of Gaza, and began ground attacks on the Palestinian enclave with the aim of eliminating Hamas fighters and rescuing the hostages.

On November 24, Qatar mediated a deal between Israel and Hamas over a temporary ceasefire and exchange of several detainees and hostages, as well as sending humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip. The ceasefire has been extended several times and ended on December 1.

In addition, more than 100 hostages are believed to be still being held by Hamas in Gaza.
