Hamas-run health ministry: Gaza death toll exceeds 30,000

The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry announced on February 29 that more than 30,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli strikes on Gaza since October 7. 70,457 people have sustained injuries of varying severity.

According to Hamas's health ministry, in the last 24 hours, 81 people were killed and 132 were injured during the clashes in Gaza. It appears that those killed on Al-Rasheed Street on February 29 were not included in the list of the fatalities.

The figures provided by Hamas are unverified.

The World Health Organization has repeatedly emphasized its inability to confirm or refute data accuracy on casualties provided by the Gaza Ministry of Health. However, in January, The Lancet published an analysis suggesting that the Gaza Health Ministry's figures may be close to reality.

According to reports from the IDF, dozens of terrorists are eliminated daily in Gaza. According to IDF data, approximately 12,000 Hamas members and their commanders have been neutralized in Gaza since the beginning of the war. Hamas acknowledges the deaths of around 6,000 of its militants.
