Hamas has released a list of almost 7,000 names of people it said had been killed in Israeli strikes, after US President Joe Biden cast doubt on the toll from the territory, AFP reports.
The list of 6,747 names gave the age, sex and identity card number of each victim, adding that 281 bodies had not yet been identified.
Another 1,600 people, including 900 children, are missing and may be under rubble, according to the UN, citing local authorities.
The war’s surging death toll is by far the highest since Israel unilaterally withdrew from the coastal territory in 2005 — a period that has seen four previous Gaza wars.
