 The Palestinian Ministry of Health has released updated casualty figures from the ongoing Israeli bombardment of Gaza.

 

At least 9,061 people have been killed since 7 October, including 3,760 children and 2,326 women, according to officials. At least 32,000 people have been wounded.

 

The ministry said 256 people were killed in the past 24 hours alone in 15 different "massacres", a word Palestinian officials use to refer to attacks that cause mass deaths at once. 

 

Around 2,000 people are still missing in Gaza, including 1,100 children. The vast majority of these people are believed to be dead and buried under rubble.

 

Additionally, Israeli forces and settlers have killed at least 131 Palestinians in the West Bank in the same period - a sharp rise from the monthly death toll in the occupied territory.

 

According to the health ministry, the October deaths take the total number of Palestinians killed this year in the West Bank to over 343.
