Gaza's Health Ministry last week updated its breakdown of the total fatalities of around 35,000 since October 7, saying that about 25,000 of those have so far been fully identified, of whom more than half were women and children. "Nothing wrong with the data, the overall data are still the same," said WHO spokesperson Christian Lindmeier at a Geneva press briefing in response to questions about the toll."The fact we now have 25,000 identified people is a step forward," he added.

He added that it was"normal" for death tolls to shift in conflicts, recalling that Israel had revised down its own death toll from the October 7 Hamas attacks to 1,200 after checks.
