Palestinian health ministry slams ‘insolence’ of those questioning validity of death toll

Ashraf al Qudra, a spokesperson for the Palestinian Ministry of Health has slammed those doubting the death count published by the ministry since the start of the war on 7 October. 

“To those who are questioning the validity of the numbers, we say to them, enough of your insolence. It would be better for you to stand up for the truth and prosecute the perpetrators of the massacres, and stop supporting them,” he said in a statement.

“We call on all institutions to come and observe the work and operations of the Ministry of Health, so the world can see that behind every number is a story and a person with a name and identity. Our people and our sons are not nobodies that can be forgotten,” he added. 

“We reaffirm that we will publish a detailed review in front of the entire world, about the genocide committed by the Israeli occupation against our people, which has taken place in front of the world this October.”
