Israel sees Hamas' will to fight broken. Almost 29,000 Palestinians have died in Israeli attacks and fighting in the Gaza Strip, according to the Hamas-controlled health authority.
68,880 others were injured. A large number of injured people cannot be treated due to non-functional hospitals and a lack of medication. Thousands of wounded people would have to be taken to other countries so that they can be helped. Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Shtaje called on the international community to come up with a reconstruction program.
