A spokesperson said the health ministry in Gaza is tracking two separate death tolls – an overall death toll and a total number of identified fatalities.
The United Nations on Monday clarified that the overall number of fatalities in Gaza tallied by the Ministry of Health in Gaza remains unchanged, at more than 35,000, since the war broke out between Israel and Hamas on October 7. The clarification comes after the UN humanitarian agency OCHA published a report on May 8 with revised data regarding the number of Palestinian casualties in the war.
The fully identified death toll comprises of 7,797 children, 4,959 women, 1,924 elderly, and 10,006 men, the UN spokesperson said, citing the Gaza health ministry. The health authority in Gaza noted that the documentation process of casualties’ full identification details is still ongoing, Haq added.
