4,200 dead in 10 days.

The death toll in the latest and bloodiest episode in the Middle East conflict continues to rise.

The tally includes a large number of women and children, with many more bodies yet to be found from the rubble.

The ongoing battle sparked by the Hamas cross-border attack on Oct. 7 prompted a brutal response from a shaken Israeli nation.

The results are casualties on both sides and civilians caught in the crossfire.

The last blast that killed 500 in a Gaza hospital raises further the death toll, and the ending to this conflict is still nowhere in the horizon for now.
