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.
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.

We can keep quoting the whole article.
Is relation to the hospital explosion:
“U.S. President Joe Biden said he had “no confidence” in the accuracy of the ministry’s reporting. However, the U.S. government’s annual human rights assessments from the region frequently cite the Gaza ministry.
Gaza’s Health Ministry stands by the 471 figure and includes it in the total death toll. When asked about conflicting accounts, authorities emphasize the difficulties of their work and vigorously deny any fabrication”
My takeaway is, they have been accurate historically and are used internationally, but they should be verified, especially after recent events.

But it literally says in your quote that Hamas exerts authority. It would be foolish to assume they wouldnt use every source of outrage they could get.
