The health ministry in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip said Saturday the death toll in the Israel-Hamas war had risen to at least 17,700 in the Palestinian territory.
"The crimes and genocide against the people of Gaza are beyond any description... Ending Palestinian existence with American and European support is inhuman," ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra said, adding that 48,780 people had also been wounded in the war.
