The Gaza Ministry of Health, run by Hamas, claims that the death toll in the Gaza Strip has crossed 7,000.
According to data from the Gaza Health Ministry, administered by Hamas, they claim that since the beginning of the war, 7,028 Gazans have been killed in Israeli attacks, with the ministry mentioning tens of thousands injured and hundreds, if not thousands, buried under the rubble.
The claims from the "Gaza Health Ministry" should be taken in the proper context. It is an organization directly controlled by Hamas and serves its agenda. They may either downplay the number of casualties to maintain morale among their forces or exaggerate them for international attention and sympathy.
President Joe Biden of the United States himself recently stated that he "does not believe in the death toll numbers provided by Hamas." Furthermore, since the false claims about the bombing of the hospital and the inflation of the death toll, many news agencies also view the death toll figures provided by the Gaza Health Ministry with skepticism.
