"Controversy Surrounding Gaza Death Toll as Biden Expresses Doubt, While UN and Humanitarian Agencies Stand Firm"
The health ministry in Gaza has published a report listing the names of over 6,000 "documented deaths" in Gaza since the October 7 terror attacks on Israel, after US President Joe Biden expressed doubt about the reliability of Palestinian casualty figures. The report stated that between October 7 and 26, 7,028 Palestinians were killed, including 2,913 children, and blamed the deaths on Israeli military "aggression." The dispute highlights the complexities in reporting the number of deaths in Gaza, with the Palestinian Authority supporting the Gaza numbers while the US questions their accuracy.
