Palestinian rescuers mourn by the body of one of their fellow first responders killed in a strike near the Al-Aqsa Hospital in the central Gazan city of Deir al-Balah. The health ministry in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip said Sunday at least 21,822 people have been killed in the Palestinian territory since the war with Israel erupted, most of them women and children. The war began with Hamas's bloody October 7 attacks, which left about 1,140 people dead in Israel, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on official figures. IMAGES
