Gaza health ministry says 900 killed despite ceasefire
BBC News··2 Sept
Gaza's Hamas-run Ministry of Health said more than 900 people were killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza this year despite the ceasefire. Deaths since the 10 October ceasefire exceeded 1,300, including 301 children, it said. The ministry does not separate civilians and combatants. The UN treats the figures as reliable. The Israel Defense Forces disputed the tally.
