    Been noticing this is a lot by Hasbara posters on reddit-logo, usually either straight up denying people are dying or saying they can’t trust the numbers because the health ministry is “run by Hamas”

    If anything the Palestinians are giving a lowball number. Israel has dropped just over 7000 munitions so far and they are reporting over 7000 dead. So one person a bomb? I wouldn’t be surprised if the casualties are 3x higher.

    Occupiers raze entire neighborhoods with billions upon billions dollars worth of missiles: cost of war

    response from Ministry of Health:

    We reject the American administration’s questioning of the numbers we announce regarding the martyrs and the injured.

    The American administration has stripped itself of all standards, humanitarian ethics, and basic human rights values to speak in the tongue of the criminal occupier and brazenly question the authenticity of the announced figures.

    We have decided to come out and announce in detail, with names, and in front of the whole world the reality of the genocidal war committed by the “israeli” occupation against our people in front of the world’s sight and hearing since the seventh of October.

    We confirm that the doors of the Ministry of Health are open to all institutions to review the health system’s operations in the Ministry of Health.

    The IDF needs to be careful to only strike proper military targets as it randomly shells Gaza with the explicit objective of collapsing tunnels it can’t possibly know the locations of.

    “Everyone uses the figures from the Gaza Health Ministry because those are generally proven to be reliable,” said Omar Shakir, Israel and Palestine director at Human Rights Watch. “In the times in which we have done our own verification of numbers for particular strikes, I’m not aware of any time which there’s been some major discrepancy.”
