He also added that the ministry said the process of fully identifying the details of the casualties is ongoing.

Bodies have to be brought to hospitals to be counted and verified, so the ones that have not made it to a hospital, have effectively not been counted Seeing as the hospitals and staff are no longer operational, the method of counting the dead no longer exists in any meaningful capacity. Reports of up to 200,000 dead have been quoted as more accurate. Salam

Bullshit
Why no 3rd party investigator either international organisations, NGOs, journalists, peacemakers, volunteers , medical personnels , come into Gaza , verify those numbers from Gaza's ministry of health so that no other countries, leaders , spokesperson or medias can dispute that numbers and details? Yes i know , it's war zone , but Al jazeera , the local press is on-site , can release current news , interview of Palestinians people even among the displaced population and ruins of buildings eventhough it's in warzone. Also i still remember , during the early ground invasion of Israel, international journalist are allowed on Gaza ground to do live reporting and so on by IDF protection , so just coordinate the 3rd party investigators into Gaza with protection from militaries like before.

Israel has banned independent journalist from reporting from Gaza. The only information available is the information released by either side of belligerents. Which for strategic interest will be cherry picked and censored because information warfare is a very real thing. News from official sources of any belligerent, be it Ukraine, Russia, Hamas or Israel, should always be viewed for what they are, another strategic political tool used to further their internal interests.
