The report's author, Andrew Fox, a fellow at HJS said his team’s research is based on lists of casualty figures that the MoH has released through Telegram as well as lists released by the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. Fox said he and his team have been able to examine segments of the reporting, despite changeable MoH data being "really hard to interrogate."
On Tuesday, Gaza health authorities updated its number of dead to what it said was more than 45,000.
