In any warzone, counting the dead is a challenge. Gaza is no different.
As battles there intensify, the chaotic situation - with bombardment by Israeli forces, on-the-ground fighting, communications blackouts, fuel shortages and crumbling infrastructure - makes getting accurate information on the numbers of people who have died extremely demanding.
And Palestinian officials have said there are now “significant difficulties” in obtaining updated information because of the interruption of communications in the Gaza Strip.
The health ministry is Gaza’s official source for death numbers - which it updates regularly. On Monday evening, it said 11,240 people had been killed, including 4,630 children, since the Hamas attacks on Israel on 7 October which prompted the current war.

Israeli mindset Dead babies (dead future Hamas) Dead pregnant women being cut open to save their babies and fail (dead Hamas baby maker) Dead male children (dead future Hamas) Etc…
The amount of brain twisting these people do to justify their bloodlust and dehumanize even the dead is not even surprising anymore, just annoying. Look for them in every post, all the way down and downvoted to hell. Not that votes matter.
The only brain twisting I see here is you trying to sympathise with terrorist organisations. The Palestinian health organisation is controlled by Hamas. They regulary lie about many things, including casualties. Just look at the hospital “air strike” a few weeks back. It turned out to be Hamas’ own rockets that hit the parking lot. How many casualties did Palestine say it was? 500 on an near empty parking lot… I find it hard to believe, that the Hospital put 500 people on the lot. And if they did, where were the bloody corpses in the footage? There were probably casualties by that misfire. It was neither 500 casualties (probably closer to maybe 20), nor was the IDF responsible for that one.
Yes, there is a lot of suffering and I hope for a soon end to the conflict. But please, don’t blindly trust the Palestinian goverment like that. Neither do blindly trust Israel, either. Both sides can’t be fully trusted, not until independent organisations can verify all claims.
Hamas has switched to informational war with fake numbers and campaigns on social media and this has been proven over and over again. Both sides are exaggerating, but Israel at least is not undermined by terrorists.
Now downvote me to oblivion, because I don’t trust everything blindly like the Ministry of Truth want’s us to.
