Gaza death toll approaches 44,000, with 50 killed in past day

Israeli forces have killed at least 50 Palestinians and wounded 110 in the last 24 hours, the Palestinian health ministry said on the 410th day of Israeli war on Gaza. 

This brings the death toll in the besieged enclave since 7 October 2023 to 43,972, with more than 104,008 wounded. At least 10,000 people are still missing, likely dead and buried under rubble.

The UN says nearly 70 percent of the victims are children and women.
