The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has claimed at least 17,487 lives, according to the health ministry in the Gaza Strip, which is governed by Hamas. This information was released on Friday.
The ministry’s spokesperson, Ashraf al-Qudra, revealed the latest figure by saying, “Every day we are losing dozens of wounded due to a lack of care and delay in getting them out of Gaza.”
