Amid the continuing conflict between Israel and Hamas, at Al-Ahli Arab Baptist Hospital in Gaza City, according to medical personnel, the bodies of Palestinians, including a child who was killed in an Israeli air strike on January 8, 2025, were lying on the floor. On January 9, outside Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Bala, in central Gaza,dozens of people attended the funeral prayers for the Palestinians who had died in the Israeli air raids the day before. In the hospital mortuary, some Palestinians were seen kneeling and saying goodbye to their relatives, and then slamming the refrigerator door in their grief.
On January 9th 2025, the Gaza Ministry of Health announced that more than 46,000 Palestinians had died in the war between Israel and Hamas. The total number of Palestinian deaths was 46,006, and the number of injured was 109,378. More than half of the dead were women and children. It is unclear how many of the dead were combatants and how many were civilians. The Israeli military carried out nighttime attacks on the areas of Gaza City, Khan Younis, and Al-Mawasi, which is considered a safe zone, and took the lives of young children. Amid the continuing conflict between Israel and Hamas, Palestinians inspected the site of an Israeli air strike on a civilian home in Nuseirat, in the central Gaza Strip, on January 9, 2025.
The Israeli military said that it had killed more than 17,000 armed Hamas militants without evidence. It said that it had avoided harming civilians, but that the deaths of Palestinians were Hamas's fault because Hamas was operating in residential areas. The Israeli military repeatedly attacked militants hiding in shelters and hospitals, killing women and children. The Israeli military caused widespread destruction in the Gaza Strip, displacing around 90% of the population of 2.3 million. Hundreds of thousands of people were packed into vast tent camps along the Mediterranean coast, with limited access to food and other necessities.
