Evidence

Multiple outlets (BBC, Tribune Online, Jingletree, Shango Media – all republishing or closely reflecting an original BBC report) confirm this exact figure: the Gaza Hamas-run Health Ministry reported more than 900 people killed in Gaza in 2026 despite the October 10, 2025 ceasefire, bringing the cumulative post-ceasefire toll to over 1,300 including 301 children. The BBC report states its own team, 'BBC Verify has analysed dozens of videos' of strike aftermaths, and cites experts saying independent analysis was consistent with the ministry's data, while noting the UN considers the ministry's overall figures reliable. The Israeli military (IDF) disputes the ministry's attribution of all deaths to Israeli military activity but does not appear to dispute the raw casualty count itself. Other outlets (Gaza Herald, NPR, Bernama) show the running post-ceasefire tally progressing over months (from ~300 in November 2025, to ~800 in April 2026, to over 1,000 by June 2026, then over 900 killed 'this year' as of the report in question), consistent with an accumulating death toll.
