GAZA — The death toll in Gaza has surpassed 10,000 people, the Hamas-run health ministry said Monday (Nov 6) after nearly one month of bombardment by Israel whose offensive against Palestinian militants showed signs of intensifying.
People search rubble for survivors and the bodies of victims in the aftermath of Israeli bombardment in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip on Nov 6, 2023, amid continuing battles between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas.
The dead in Gaza include more than 4,000 children, the health ministry said, while UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told reporters the bombarded territory was becoming a"graveyard for children". "We will be able to dismantle Hamas, stronghold after stronghold, battalion after battalion, until we achieve the ultimate goal, which is to rid the Gaza Strip — the entire Gaza Strip — of Hamas," Israeli army spokesman Jonathan Conricus said.
"We have already taken 40 bodies out of the rubble," he said as crowds prayed around corpses wrapped in white shrouds. He vowed to minimise civilian casualties and accused Hamas of"doing everything in its power to keep them in harm's way", according to an official readout following a meeting with Bulgarian Prime Minister Nikolay Denkov.Ahead of Mr Biden's call with Mr Netanyahu, top US diplomat Antony Blinken concluded his latest whirlwind Middle East tour with a stop in Turkey, where again his host pressed for an Israeli ceasefire.
