President Joe Biden on Wednesday said he had no confidence in the ministry’s casualty figures. In addition, On Thursday, the White House spokesperson, John Kirby called the ministry a front for Hamas.

Part of CNN report reads in quote this: “The dispute highlights the complexities in reporting the number of deaths in Gaza. Numbers of casualties for the besieged enclave are released daily, both by the ministry in Gaza and by the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah in the West Bank.

“The Palestinian Authority is run by a rival faction to Hamas, though the umbrella Ministry of Health maintains a relationship with the ministry in Gaza.

“CNN is unable to independently verify the death toll tabulated in Gaza. But international agencies, including the United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO), report figures provided by the Gaza ministry. The figures are collated from data provided to it by hospitals and emergency services”.
