The health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza said on Sunday that at least 40,738 people have been killed in the war between Israel and Palestinian fighters, now in its 11th month.
The toll includes 47 deaths in the previous 24 hours, according to ministry figures, which also list 94,154 people as wounded in the Gaza Strip since the war began when the Palestinian group Hamas attacked Israel on October 7.
