Since October 7, more than 3,257 children have been reported killed, including at least 3,195 in Gaza, 33 in the West Bank, and 29 in Israel, according to the Ministries of Health in Gaza and Israel respectively. The number of children reported killed in just three weeks in Gaza is more than the number killed in armed conflict globally – across more than 20 countries – over the course of a whole year, for the last three years.

Quotes from the article-
“Yet the Gaza-based Ministry of Health — an agency in the Hamas-controlled government continues to tally casualty numbers….
In previous wars, the ministry's counts have held up to U.N. scrutiny, independent investigations and even Israel's tallies.
But an outlier is the ministry’s death toll from an explosion at al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City last week.”
So while they have been trustworthy im the past, i still would prefer some third-party oversight after that hospital story. They threw their credibility and caught a bunch of news orgs with their pants down for trusting them.
Here, you forgot the rest of the quote
The AP wrote the article for anyone who cares to look. There's genuinely a lot to learn about in there.
I was addressing the previous statement saying the ministry was not a part of Hamas when their own article clearly states -an agency in the Hamas-controlled government-
The article also said that their data was wrong in a story everyone remembers a week ago with the hospital.
Obviously a lot of people are being killed, I am not saying they aren’t. But accurate sources are important.
