Monday is the 500th day of the war triggered by Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023 attack into southern Israel.

A tenuous ceasefire in the Gaza Strip has held for nearly a month. But the current phase of the truce is set to expire in early March and it is unclear if the sides will extend it, begin negotiations for a more lasting ceasefire or resume fighting.

Here are some numbers that show the scale of death and devastation. Sources include the Israeli government, the Gaza Health Ministry and U.N. agencies.

Hostages in Gaza believed to be dead: 36, including one from before Oct. 7, 2023
