The Ministry stresses that many victims remain unrecovered, as emergency crews face severe obstacles including damaged infrastructure, fuel shortages, and ongoing Israeli violations of the ceasefire.
Hospitals continue to operate under extreme strain, with limited resources to treat the influx of wounded.
The daily statistical bulletins issued by the Palestinian Health Ministry provide the most immediate accounting of fatalities and injuries, drawn directly from hospital admissions and emergency reports.
These updates are designed to capture the urgent reality on the ground, often listing new casualties within the past 24 hours alongside cumulative totals.
Because they are hospital‑based, they reflect what has been formally registered, while acknowledging that many victims remain unrecovered beneath rubble or in inaccessible areas.
By contrast, the broader breakdowns of casualties—such as the number of children, women, medics, and journalists killed—are compiled by international agencies including UN OCHA, WHO, UNRWA, and press freedom organizations.
These figures undergo verification and categorization, which explains why they may differ from the daily totals.
The Health Ministry’s bulletins provide the raw numbers, while UN and NGO datasets highlight specific groups to underscore humanitarian law violations.
The differences are not contradictions but reflect scope, timing, and methodology: one is immediate and local, the other aggregated and internationally verified.
