It operates under the jurisdiction of the territory’s Hamas government…
…in 2007, the Hamas government in the Gaza Strip has appointed its own alternate health ministers than those in the West Bank.
The new Gaza government … replaced Fatah-affiliated hospital directors and staff with Hamas loyalists.
The authors also found that the number of buildings reported damaged by the Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Public Works was consistent with satellite imagery-based estimates conducted by Sky News.
The 40,000 killed statistic is reliable in that the killed persons name, identity number etc are reported to MoH officials and recorded by them, and the dead are seen by the officials. However the figure is a small subset of the actual number dead. 200,000 to 300,000 dead in Gaza in the past year is a conservative estimate.
Yeah, which I think is a real weakness in the reporting.
40k dead is bad, but it’s a rounding error of the total population.
A tenth of the total population dead, a fifth or a quarter of the population subjected to severe permanent disabilities, and nearly the entire population displaced, homeless, and presently starving to death is a clear genocide. They really are trying to exterminate them. It strains my ability to comprehend. In any case, “40,000” does not begin to capture the current scale of what has become a pretty standard, unambiguous genocide.
I Germany, I hear this often, but it’s also often mentioned that the death numbers reported by them were usually reliable.
It’s also still mentioned three times in the German Wikipedia article.

The english article still mentions it at least four times:
