death toll

Tuesday's attack is not an outlier, though it is shocking for its death toll.

Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry, whose figures the UN sees as reliable, has reported a death toll of more than 43,600 people since the start of the war.

Russia does not disclose the number of its war dead, but Western defence officials have said October's death toll was the heaviest so far.

Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry, whose figures the UN sees as reliable, has reported a death toll of more than 43,300 people over the past 13 months.

There was no immediate confirmation from the Lebanese health ministry, which gave a preliminary death toll of 20 from the strike on Barja late on Tuesday.
