The health ministry in the Gaza Strip said Thursday the death toll there since the start of Israel’s war against Hamas had surpassed 9,000.

The ministry said 9,061 had been killed since the war began with the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7. Of these, 3,760 were children and an additional 32,000 had been wounded, the ministry said.

More foreigners prepared to leave the besieged Gaza Strip on Thursday as at least 195 Palestinians died in Israel’s attacks on the Jabalia refugee camp, strikes that UNhuman rights officials said could be war crimes.

Here are the latest updates

  • The health ministry in Gaza said Thursday at least 27 people were killed in an Israeli strike near a UN school in the Jabalia refugee camp.
  • At least 320 foreign citizens on an initial list of 500, as well as dozens of severely injured Gazans, crossed into Egypt on Wednesday under a deal among Israel, Egypt, and Hamas. -The Gaza Borders and Crossings Authority has released a list of 596 foreign and dual nationals who will be allowed to leave through the Rafah crossing on Thursday after the first group, including 81 critically ill patients, crossed on Wednesday.
  • Joe Biden has said the US supports a humanitarian pause, the first time the US President has said these words himself, although it is a policy his administration has been advocating for the past week.
  • Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital, Gaza’s only medical facility serving cancer patients, was forced to shut down after running out of fuel. The Indonesian Hospital has now been forced to run on its backup generator after the main generator stalled. -The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights says Israeli attacks on Gaza’s Jabalia refugee camp may be “disproportionate attacks that could amount to war crimes”.
