Israel has killed more than 40,000 Palestinians in Gaza, say local authorities
The number of Palestinians killed by Israel's war on Gaza has passed 40,000, the Palestinian health ministry said on Thursday.
Israeli forces have killed at least 40,005 Palestinians in the besieged enclave since 7 October, the ministry said.
More than 92,401 others have been wounded.
The latest death toll comes after 40 Palestinians were killed and 107 were wounded by Israeli attacks over the past 24 hours.
"Over ten months of hell, people continue to lose their loved ones; family members, close friends and neighbours. Do you know what it means to lose 40,000 of your people?" said Fikr Shalltoot at Medical Aid for Palestinians.
