STORYLINE:
Smoke was seen rising over Khan Younis, in southern Gaza Strip on Monday after a suspected blast.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said on Monday that more than 62,000 Palestinians have been killed in the 22-month war in Gaza.
At least 60 people were killed in the past 24 hours, bringing the death toll from the Israel-Hamas war that started on Oct. 7, 2023, to 62,004. Another 156,230 have been wounded, it said.
The Health Ministry said 1,965 people have been killed while seeking aid from aid convoys or killed close to aid distribution sites. At least seven Palestinians were killed attempting to access aid on Monday morning.
The ministry, which doesn’t distinguish between civilians and combatants in its count, is staffed by medical professionals. The United Nations and other independent experts view its figures as the most reliable count of casualties.
Israel has disputed its figures, but hasn’t provided its own account of casualties.
