00:00 It is worth noting that the number of victims is provided by the Ministry of Health of Gaza,
00:04 which is run by Hamas.
00:06 The ministry collects information provided by the enclave hospitals and by the Palestinian
00:11 Red Cross.
00:12 The Ministry of Health of Gaza does not indicate how the Palestinians were killed, whether
00:17 by air strikes or Israeli damage or missed Palestinian rocket fire.
00:21 It describes all victims as victims of Israeli aggression and does not make any distinction
00:27 between civilians and fighters.
00:28 During the four wars and the many clashes between Israel and Hamas, the United Nations
00:34 agencies have regularly cited the figures of the Ministry of Health in their reports.
00:38 The International Committee of the Red Cross and the Palestinian Red Cross also use these
00:43 figures.
00:44 The day after the previous episodes of war, the United Nations Humanitarian Office published
00:49 figures of the victims based on its own research in the medical files.
00:52 The figures of the UN largely agree with those of the Ministry of Health of Gaza, with some
00:57 differences.
