 38,000. This is according to the latest data released by the Gaza Ministry of Health. More from NPR's Kat Lonsdorf. More than 87,000 have been wounded, and thousands more are missing beneath the rubble, presumed to be dead. This death toll does not include people who have died from disease or malnutrition, both rising causes of death as Gaza faces an extreme humanitarian crisis in the ninth month of war. 322 Israeli soldiers have been killed since Israel's ground offensive began.
