GAZA STRIP, Palestinian Territories, Nov  19, 2023 (BSS/AFP) - Gaza's Hamas
government said Sunday the death toll from fighting between Israeli troops and
Hamas militants in the Palestinian territory had reached 13,000 since war began
on October 7.

The Hamas government said more than 5,500 children were among the dead,
alongside 3,500 women, with 30,000 more people wounded. Its health ministry has
previously said it can no longer give exact tolls as intense fighting has
prevented bodies from being recovered.
