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

The Hamas-run Gaza health ministry announced on March 10 that 31,045 people have died in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the war on October 7. 72,654 people sustained injuries of varying severity.

According to Hamas's Ministry of Health data, 85 people were killed and 130 were injured in Gaza during the past day of fighting.

The figures provided by Hamas are unverified.

The World Health Organization has repeatedly emphasized its inability to confirm or refute the accuracy of data 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 the IDF reports, dozens of operatives from terrorist groups are eliminated in Gaza every day. Approximately 12,000 militants and their commanders have been eliminated in Gaza since the start of the war. Hamas acknowledges the deaths of about 6,000 of its militants.
