Israel has killed nearly 35,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip in retaliation for an Oct. 7 attack by Hamas which claimed about 1,200 lives and took around 250 as hostages.

The retaliatory offensive has also reduced much of the enclave to rubble, and left the territory in the grips of a humanitarian crisis characterized by shortages of food, water and medicine. About 85% of Gaza's 2.3 million population is forcibly displaced.
