Sources: July 29, 2025, Gaza’s Health Ministry reported 60,000+ fatalities, including around 31% children.
Independent research suggests the real death toll could be far higher. A Lancet study estimated 64,260 deaths from traumatic injuries between October 2023 and June 2024 alone, possibly rising to 70,000+ by October 2024, with women, children and elderly representing nearly 60% .
A survey by Nature suggests around 84,000 deaths by early January 2025.
The Economist estimates the undercount could be 46–107% higher than official figures, suggesting between 77,000 and 109,000 deaths, or 4–5% of Gaza’s pre-war population
I understand they are controlled by Hamas ?
So it is implied they (Gaza Health Ministry GHM) would be seeking to reduce the number of Hamas fighter deaths that are in the count.
Youth combatants ( aged below 18 year old ) would be included in Child count.
I saw a article that used demographics to question and analyze the count, Can not find it now.
On another note Ive noted Media outlets tend to publish articles supporting one side or the other.
It seems all? sides hate each other and want to kill all the other side(s) It seems to me the situation going back decades will not allow fighting to stop
Israel account of lies upon lies upon fabrications is also a reality you failed to mention.
Remember the first casualty in War is truth, se we need to be suspicious of anything. coming from both sides is my opinion.
Look at the child that was on media front page around the world - reported by MULTIPLE media organizations as being food shortage suffer - when it was pointed out that was not the actual situation
There is criticism of Israel, but have not seem criticism of Hamas. Why? Hamas Command centers under hospital, weapons stored at school, They seem not to care at all about local Gaza people on the ground. In fact it is reported some Gaza people been executed for criticism of Hamas ?
See TikTok role in the genocide and its targeting by US pro-Zionist politicians.

I like how (Bezos' owned) Washington Post synthesizes the current situation of morale bankruptcy perfectly : "Democracy Dies in Darkness"
