The Health Ministry urged families of the killed and missing to complete their data through the official registration platform, noting that accurate documentation remains essential for maintaining verified public records.
The Ministry of Health in Gaza reiterated that the documented figures represent only the cases that hospitals have been able to receive, stressing that the true toll is likely higher due to the large number of victims who remain unrecovered.
