Gaza death toll revised to 61,707 as thousands of missing declared dead

Authorities in Gaza have updated the death toll from Israel’s war to over 61,700, following a reassessment that included thousands previously listed as missing under the rubble.

Last week Gaza's death toll was considered to be 47,487, widely believed to be a underestimate.

The official death toll from the Palestinian Health Ministry stands at 47,487.

On Monday, the head of Gaza's information office stated that at least 14,222 people are missing and presumed buried under the rubble.

While these figures have been included in the overall death toll, they have not been officially confirmed by the Palestinian Health Ministry.
