GAZA, Sept. 4 (Xinhua) -- Gaza health authorities said on Thursday that 84 Palestinians were killed and 338 wounded in Israeli attacks across the enclave in the past 24 hours.
The latest casualties brought the Palestinian death toll since the war began on Oct. 7, 2023, to 64,231, with 161,583 injured. At least 2,356 people have been killed and more than 17,244 wounded while trying to obtain food, the authorities said in a statement.
Hospitals in Gaza also reported three new deaths from starvation and malnutrition in the past day, raising the total to 370, including 131 children, since the start of the conflict, according to the authorities.
The war erupted when Hamas launched an attack on southern Israel that killed 1,200 people and took hostages. Israel responded with a large-scale offensive that has devastated the coastal territory. ■
