 to the Hamas-run “Ministry of Health.”){kind=link}
Thank you for your important Feb. 26 editorial about Al Jazeera. The problem is widespread and goes beyond Al Jazeera. Far too many news reporters depend on casualty data from UNRWA. Setting aside the fact that UNRWA itself is a biased source that is hostile to Israel, the figures UNRWA often uses are attributed by them (in fine print) to the Hamas-run “Ministry of Health.”
Here’s what Hillary Clinton told Christiane Amanpour on CNN in November 2023: “I do not believe the numbers that are coming out of the Hamas-controlled ministry,” and she went on to argue that Hamas has “every incentive to inflate the numbers.”

Yes, let’s focus on the numbers. What about the targeting of ambulances, reporters, kids. Did you read the editorial in the NY Times from doctors who described wounds that were from sniper fire. Sounds humane to me. Let’s quibble about whther 40,000 or 20,000 were killed….It doesn’t matter where you get your news to see the incredible
damage to practically every building. Do you want to live that?
