Evidence

Multiple independent news outlets and organizations corroborate this claim. Al Jazeera, the AP (via Philadelphia Inquirer), NPR, BBC (via aggregator comparison showing 57+ outlets reporting the same figure), and TRT World all report that Gaza's Health Ministry says more than 1,400 Palestinians (specific figures cited range from 1,400 to 1,471, with one update at 1,408) have been killed by Israeli strikes since the October 10, 2025 ceasefire took effect. The figure is also independently referenced by the UN's OHCHR spokesperson and by a joint statement from over 100 international humanitarian organizations, both citing comparable post-ceasefire death tolls. The AP's reporting (via Inquirer) specifically notes that Gaza's Health Ministry, while run by the Hamas-led government, 'is seen as generally reliable by U.N. agencies and independent experts.' No fact-checking organization (Reuters Fact Check, AFP Fact Check, Bellingcat, EUvsDisinfo) appears to have specifically disputed this figure; rather, it is treated as a standard, widely-reported statistic in ongoing conflict coverage.
