The Hamas-run Health Ministry in Gaza says that more than 9,000 Palestinians have been killed since war broke out more than three weeks ago.
Dr. Ashraf al-Qidra, a ministry spokesperson, says 9,061 people have been killed in Gaza, including 3,760 who are under 18.
Hamas figures cannot be confirmed and they do not differentiate between terrorists and civilians. They also do not differentiate between those killed in Israeli strikes and those killed by the hundreds of terror group rockets that have fallen short inside the Strip.
