It's the only ""official"" toll being released by (what remains of) the Gazan Health Ministry, even if with every daily statement they append "this doesn't include tens of thousands still missing or trapped under rubble".
In the North there's not even civil defense anymore so no more tolls from there.
It upsets me but the Gaza ministry is especially strict out of fear of being called a "Hamas front" yet that's exactly what the Zionists do anyway.
I was under the impression that the official toll numbers, at this point, are specifically do to their criteria being "positively identified". So, more along the lines of "we know the name and family of this person" and less about worrying what the opinions of the occupation forces are.
