TEHRAN — Israeli forces have killed or wounded a Palestinian in Gaza every 90 minutes on average since last October’s ceasefire declaration, according to humanitarian charity Islamic Relief. The UK-based organization recorded 1,454 Palestinians killed and over 5,000 injured in ongoing strikes, including 320 children. Gaza’s Health Ministry confirmed matching numbers, raising the total death toll from the genocidal war past 74,250, as of October 8, 2026.
Independent observers contend that no real ceasefire exists in Gaza as American-supplied munitions continue striking crowded displacement camps. Israel has weaponized the “Yellow Line” buffer zone to seize 65 percent of the territory. This expansion crams nearly 2.1 million residents into remaining areas while Israeli authorities systematically block vital medical evacuations, shelter supplies, and essential fuel across the besieged enclave.
The Tehran Times reports Islamic Relief's finding that Israel has killed or wounded a Palestinian in Gaza every 90 minutes since the October 2025 ceasefire, and it names Israel as the actor throughout. One small slip: it says the Health Ministry confirmed matching numbers, when the ministry's count of 1,471 killed and 5,189 wounded is close to Islamic Relief's but not the same. This does not change what a reader understands about the killing.
Uses figures that mislead
Minor
“Gaza’s Health Ministry confirmed matching numbers”
Why this matters
The words "confirmed matching numbers" tell the reader that the ministry's count is the same as Islamic Relief's 1,454 killed and over 5,000 injured.
The impression it gives
A reader believes two separate sources produced identical figures.
The context
The ministry reported 1,471 killed and 5,189 wounded since the ceasefire. The figures are close and support each other, but they are not the same. The article could have given the ministry's own count.
