Gaza’s Health Ministry says 33,175 Palestinians have been killed and 75,886 wounded since Israel launched its war on the coastal territory in October.
The toll includes at least 38 deaths over the past 24 hours, a ministry statement said.
More than 14,000 children and about 9,220 women have been killed in six months of war.
“We have arrived at a terrible milestone,” the UN’s humanitarian chief Martin Griffiths said in a statement marking six months, while noting “the immediate prospect of a shameful man-made famine”.
Griffiths called the prospect of further Israeli escalation in Gaza “unconscionable”.
