The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza announced on January 3 that since the beginning of hostilities on October 7, over 22,300 people have been killed in the Gaza Strip, with more than 57,300 sustaining injuries.
This information is not independently verifiable. Due to the high number of casualties, people are often buried in mass graves.
According to reports from the Hamas-run health ministry, approximately 300 people have died in Gaza in the past two days alone, with the number of injured rising by around 600.
The World Health Organization has repeatedly emphasized its inability to confirm or refute data accuracy on the dead and injured provided by the Ministry.
