Their Telegram channel published those statistics on April 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 27, 28, 29,and 30, May 2 and 3.
Since then - silence.
Meanwhile, Hamas continues to publish its own statistics from its Gaza Media Office that contradict the latest MoH report.
| GMO | MOH | |
| Total casualties (confirmed) | 35091 | 24691 |
| Children | 15103 | 7798 |
| Women | 9961 | 4961 |
Why the sudden silence from the health ministry?
While I and others have been pointing out the contradictions between the two sources for quite a while, only recently has the UN started to report the detailed MoH figures that cut the number of women and children allegedly killed in Gaza by half.
Can it be that Hamas was embarrassed when the UN finally started publishing the MoH statistics that flatly contradicts the Hamas claims? (There are 12,305 more dead women and children according to Hamas, but only 10,400 more total casualties - which is quite impossible.)
Did Hamas tell the health ministry to shut up and stop making its bosses look bad?
Meanwhile, the health ministry continues to report Hamas' inflated total numbers in its own daily press release, as it has the entire time, ignoring the discrepancies from its own staistics.
If the health ministry publishes a new report, it will be interesting to see whether they try to square away their numbers with Hamas' inflated claims.
