Health authorities in Gaza said over 5,000 people were killed since the Oct. 7 start of the war between Palestinian militant group Hamas and Israel. More than 15,000 have been injured, the authorities said.
It is over two weeks since the Palestinian militant group Hamas launched its assault on Israel, killing at least 1,400 people and taking over 200 hostage.
CNBC could not independently verify these numbers.
A full surrender of Hamas and the return of Israeli hostages could end Israel’s war in the Gaza Strip, Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Jonathan Conricus told ABC Radio Melbourne.
“The aim here is to totally dismantle Hamas from its military capabilities. If that can be done from the air, and with standoff measures, with very limited exposure to our troops and less damage on the ground, that would be great,” he added.
Meanwhile, the European Union’s top diplomat Josep Borrell on Monday called for a pause in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestinian militant group Hamas, to allow the delivery of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip.
32 MIN AGO Gaza says more than 5,000 people killed Hamas-run health authorities in Gaza said over 5,000 people were killed since the Oct. 7 start of the war between Palestinian militant group Hamas and Israel.
The figures, released by Health Ministry spokesperson Dr. Ashraf Al-Qudra, include 2,055 children. Some 15,273 people remain injured.
The enclosure has been under perpetual bombardment from Israeli forces, which are pursuing the forces of Hamas, following the Palestinian militant group’s multi-pronged terror attacks of early October. Israel has sealed off the Gaza Strip, depriving it of its water, fuel, food and electricity resources, and these shortages — combined with the absence of medical equipment — are bringing the Gaza health system near collapse, human rights group and the Palestinian health ministry have previously said.
At least 1,400 Israeli people have been killed since the start of the conflict, according to official figures out Friday. Roughly 222 hostages remain abducted by Hamas in Gaza, Israeli military says.
CNBC could not verify the figures supplied by either side of the conflict.

2 HOURS AGO Gaza Strip urgently needs fuel, UN relief agency says The blockaded Gaza Strip needs fuel supplies as urgently as it does water and food resources, an official for the U.N. Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said Monday.
“No fuel has come into Gaza for the last two weeks,” UNRWA Director of External Relations Tamara Alrifai told CNN in a TV interview, “And without fuel, it’s not going to be possible to go around Gaza in our trucks and distribute assistance or to power the water desalination plants and get clean drinking water or to power hospitals and their live-saving machines.”
She added that the convoys of humanitarian aid that have entered the Gaza Strip since the weekend represent a “trickle” of the volume of supplies needed to support the civilian population of the region.
“These trucks really only contain a fraction of what is needed, given the immense, immense humanitarian needs,” she said, noting that the Gaza Strip previously received roughly 100 trucks of humanitarian aid and fuel per day.
Israel cut off its own deliveries of water, fuel, food and electricity to the Gaza Strip and refuses to reinstate them, on the premise that they would support the forces of Palestinian militant group Hamas stationed within the territory.

2 HOURS AGO Israeli military says it fired on ‘aerial target’ from Lebanon The Israeli military said on Monday it had launched an interceptor missile at a “suspicious aerial target” that crossed in from Lebanon, and that sirens had been sounded in areas of the border as a precaution.

I was just thinking today how after the horrible cowardly sneak attack by hammas on israel, how they got their act together and waged a war agaisnt their attzckers rather than cower in fear.
Compare that with the feckless morons in this country who were “so traumatized” about Trump beco ing president that they actually had to have “safe rooms” and “therapy pets” to console them in their “hour of need”
What a bunch of pansies the left, and their supporters have become in this country!
Wake me up when its 500,000.
The Gaza enclave voted in masse to support the existence of Gaza. When women make a conscious decision to remain where they have been told to leave, they become Hamas body guards. As Bodyguards, they and their children lose the protection of innocence.
The Gazans that die are casualties of war that they promoted and supported. The fact they are dead mans fewer enemies to harass Israel from the Gaza infection
The old game is over. The new game is being played and Gaza is losing their very being.
Or 50?
1,995,000 to go.
I don’t believe Hamas either - but looking at some of the destruction that the Israelis have caused in Gaza City and adding a power and fuel embargo on top of that and also factoring in that it’s the most densely populated area in the world- I’m amazed it’s not more than 5,000.
I’m hoping they just carpet bomb a few sectors.
BS. They lie daily, the lie shamelessly, they lie recklessly
“Gaza health ministry says death toll surpasses 5,000...”
Who is counting numbers? Just let me know when it gets to 100%.
Cleanse the earth of Islam.
“”It’s very worrisome,” particularly since disruptions to the RyR2 receptor are directly linked to sudden cardiac death, Dr. McCullough said.”
SAFE and effective?
Sorry wrong thread
I am unmoved.
FAFO, Hamas.
Neither do I.
“She added that the convoys of humanitarian aid that have entered the Gaza Strip since the weekend represent a “trickle” of the volume of supplies needed to support the civilian population of the region. “
The “civilian” population better start rounding up Hamas, and turning them over, with whatever is left of the hostages, or it’s going to get a lot worse for them.
There you go, making sense again.
BS mussie propaganda
