TL;DR Summary

Gaza's health ministry reported a death toll of over 30,000 in the ongoing conflict, but the count is incomplete due to the overwhelming scale of devastation. The system for counting the dead is struggling to keep an accurate tally, with thousands unaccounted for, either missing under the rubble or buried hastily. The health ministry's figures rely on hospital data and public sources, but communication blackouts and attacks on hospitals have disrupted the process. Thousands missing beneath the rubble are not included in the official count, highlighting the challenges in accurately documenting the human cost of the conflict.
