Palestinian health authorities say Israel\u2019s ground and air campaign in Gaza has killed more than 35,000 people, mostly civilians, and driven most of the enclave\u2019s 2.3 million people from their homes.
\nThe war began on Oct. 7 when Hamas militants stormed across the border into Israeli communities. Israel says the militants killed more than 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and dragged 253 into captivity in Gaza.
\nThis explainer examines how the Palestinian death toll is calculated, how reliable it is, the breakdown of civilians and fighters killed and what each side says.
\nHOW DO GAZA HEALTH AUTHORITIES CALCULATE THE DEATH TOLL?<\/strong>
\nIn the first months of the war, death tolls were calculated entirely from counting bodies that arrived in hospitals and data included names and identity numbers for most of those killed.
\nAs the conflict ground on, and fewer hospitals and morgues continued to operate, the authorities adopted other methods too.
\nA May 7 Health Ministry report gave an overall toll of 34,844. It said 21,058 of those deaths were counted from bodies that hospitals reported arriving at morgues. Another 3,715 were deaths reported online by family members who had to input information including identity numbers.
\nIt listed the remaining 10,071 deaths as having \u201cincomplete data\u201d but did not specify where or how these were originally reported to the ministry.
\nIS THE GAZA DEATH TOLL COMPREHENSIVE?<\/strong>
\nThe numbers \u201cdo not necessarily reflect all victims due to the fact that many victims are still missing under the rubble\u201d, the Palestinian Health Ministry says. In May it estimated that some 10,000 bodies were uncounted in this way.
\nThe U.N. human rights office and the Humanitarian Research Lab at the Yale School of Public Health have also said during the conflict that the true figures are likely higher than those published.
\nHOW CREDIBLE IS THE GAZA DEATH TOLL?<\/strong>
\nPre-war Gaza had robust population statistics and better health information systems than in most Middle East countries, public health experts told Reuters.
\nA spokesperson for the World Health Organisation said the ministry has \u201cgood capacity in data collection\/analysis and its previous reporting has been considered credible\u201d.
\nThe United Nations regularly cites the ministry\u2019s death toll figures, while naming the ministry as the source.
\nEarly in the conflict, after U.S. President Joe Biden cast doubt on casualty figures, the health ministry published a detailed list of the 7,028 deaths that had been registered by that point.
\nAcademics looking at details of the listed casualties said in a peer-reviewed article in the Lancet medical journal in November that it was implausible that the patterns shown in the list could be the result of fabrication.
\nHowever, there are specific questions over the inclusion of 471 people said to have been killed in an Oct. 17 blast at al-Ahli al-Arab hospital in Gaza City. An unclassified U.S. intelligence report estimated that death toll \u201cat the low end of the 100 to 300 spectrum\u201d.
\nDOES HAMAS CONTROL THE FIGURES?<\/strong>
\nWhile Hamas has run Gaza since 2007, the enclave\u2019s Health Ministry also answers to the overall Palestinian Authority ministry in Ramallah, in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
\nGaza\u2019s Hamas-run government has paid the salaries of all those hired in public departments since 2007, including in the Health Ministry. The Palestinian Authority still pays the salaries of those hired before then.
\nThe extent of Hamas control in Gaza now is difficult to assess with Israeli forces occupying most of the territory, including around locations of major hospitals that provide casualty figures, and with fighting ongoing.
\nWHAT DOES ISRAEL SAY?<\/strong>
\nIsraeli officials have said the figures are suspect because of Hamas\u2019 control over government in Gaza. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Oren Mamorstein said the numbers were manipulated and \u201cdo not reflect the reality on the ground\u201d.
\nHowever, Israel\u2019s military has also accepted in briefings that the overall Gaza casualty numbers are broadly reliable.
\nLast week Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said 14,000 Hamas fighters and 16,000 Palestinian civilians had been killed in the war.
\nHOW MANY CIVILIANS HAVE BEEN KILLED?<\/strong>
\nThe Health Ministry figures do not differentiate between civilians and Hamas combatants, who do not wear formal uniform or carry separate identification.
\nIsrael periodically provides estimates of how many Hamas fighters it believes have been killed. The most recent was Netanyahu\u2019s estimate of 14,000.
\nIsraeli security officials say such estimates are reached through a combination of counting bodies on the battlefield, intercepts of Hamas communications and intelligence assessments of personnel in targets that were destroyed.
\nHamas has said during the war that Israeli estimates for its losses were exaggerated but has not said how many of its fighters have been killed.
\nThe Palestinian Health Ministry says more than 70% of the dead are women and children under 18. For most of the conflict its figures showed children as representing slightly over 40% of all those killed.
\nHowever, conditions in hospitals compiling figures have grown more difficult amid the fighting and many of those killed may not be identifiable as a result of their injuries.
\nIn May the ministry updated its breakdown of the fatalities to be based only on the 24,686 bodies it said had been fully identified, and not on the more-than 10,000 bodies it said have not yet been identified.
\nWhen it made this change, the numbers appeared significantly less, prompting Israel to raise further questions over the figures.
