  • Story Text:Palestinian health authorities said on Sunday (March 23) Israel's military campaign in Gaza has killed more than 50,000 people.
    At least 50,021 Palestinians have been killed and 113,274 wounded since the beginning of the war, the health ministry said in a statement.
    After two months of relative calm in the war, Gazans have again been fleeing for their lives after Israel effectively abandoned a ceasefire, launching a new all-out air and ground campaign on Tuesday against Hamas.
    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly said the main aim of the war is to destroy Hamas as a military and governing entity.
    He has said the aim of the new campaign is to force the group to give up remaining hostages. Israel launched its initial assault on Gaza after Hamas fighters stormed southern Israel on October 7, 2023, killing 1,200 people and taking more than 250 hostages, according to Israeli tallies.
