Hamas's propaganda office published a detailed statistical report marking 1,000 days of war in Gaza, claiming 73,066 killed, 173,514 wounded, and massive infrastructure destruction. The figures are presented by the terror group and are unverified by independent sources; the accompanying narrative accuses Israel of genocide while the data itself shows high birth rates within the Strip.
The Hamas propaganda office in Gaza published a detailed statistical report on Thursday marking 1,000 days since the outbreak of the war on October 7, 2023. According to the report, which the group presents as a comprehensive accounting of the conflict, 73,066 people have been killed, including over 21,500 children and more than 9,000 mothers, and 173,514 wounded have arrived at hospitals. The figures also claim 38 hospitals and 96 health centers have been bombed or put out of use, and that 1,047 out of 1,275 mosques have been completely destroyed. The document lists 9,500 missing persons presumed dead under rubble. The total direct losses and damages in the Strip are estimated at $80 billion. The report's author, citing the data, noted the presence of approximately 107,000 pregnant and nursing women in the Strip as an indicator that birth rates remain high, arguing that within less than a year, the current birth rate could offset casualty figures entirely. The Zioneer notes that all data comes from Hamas, a designated terror group, and is not independently verified. Previous updates from the Gaza Health Ministry, also Hamas-run, have reported cumulative death tolls ranging from 72,991 to 73,051 in recent weeks; the new 73,066 figure is in line with those trends.
