There has been a lot of questions about the Gaza health ministry death toll numbers.

UN and others were quoting it but few months ago, they revisited the number and almost halved it because a lot of the numbers were very questionable and not reliable.

I thought there was some new research that said they were reliable? Or is that referring to the revisited numbers?

It’s indisputable that the death toll is concerningly high, but it’s hard to get accurate data for various reasons.

Here’s the one I saw recently. It sounds like the data was sound at the start of the war but has become less reliable over time.

it was defintily accurate in terms of totals the first few months

some evidence of clear undercounting initially which was backed up by the biden's admin at the time
