Israel launched a devastating aerial campaign, followed by a siege and later a ground invasion in reprisal for the Hamas attack on southern Israel on 7 October, the deadliest in the country's history.
The 10,022 deaths in Gaza were announced in a press conference by a health ministry spokesman, Ashraf al-Qudra, today, the 31st day of the war. The dead also include more than 2,600 women whilst more than 25,000 people have been injured, according to the ministry. "No one in this administration is questioning that fatalities have happened," spokesman Vedant Patel said.In an effort to prove the credibility of their figures, on 26 October, the Gaza health ministry published a list of nearly 7,000 names, all people whom it said had been killed in the war up to that point.
At the end of October, media outlet AFP was able to observe the verification process in action in the morgue of Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis, in southern Gaza.
