Hamas-run Health Ministry: death toll in Gaza reached 33,000

The Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry reports that a total of 33,037 Palestinians have died and 75,600 have been wounded in Gaza since October 7.

According to Hamas's health ministry data, in the past 24 hours, 62 people were killed and 90 were injured in Gaza as a result of the hostilities.

The information cannot be verified independently. The Hamas Ministry of Health does not specify how many of the deceased and injured are militants from terrorist groups.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has repeatedly emphasized its inability to confirm or refute the accuracy of the data on the dead and injured provided by the Gaza Health Ministry. However, in January, the Lancet journal published an analysis suggesting that it may be close to reality.

According to reports from the Israel Defense Forces, dozens of militants from terrorist groups are eliminated in Gaza daily. The IDF reports that since the beginning of the conflict, approximately 14,000 militants and their commanders have been eliminated in Gaza. Hamas has acknowledged the deaths of around 6,000 of its militants.

The Gaza Health Ministry doesn't distinguish between civilians and militants, and they assert that all casualties are the result of IDF actions, even those caused by unrelated reasons.
