Or, if you trust Israel's numbers, they are pretty open that they dropped, for example, 6000 bombs on Gaza in a single week. Very conservatively, a typical JDAM bomb kills everything in a 30-40 meter radius and more deaths out to 10x that distance. That's just bombs, Israel is also using artillery, mortars, drones, small arms, etc. And then there's whatever deaths a water+fuel+food+medicine blockade might cause. Gaza's population density is high and well known, as is the percentage of women and children. Try some emotionless math that tells you thousands of women and children aren't dead...it just doesn't work.

Some civilians evict themselves from these areas (north and central gaza mainly)
Some of the bombed areas would have less civilians in them even before the war since they are used by hamas for war (but obviously not 0)
Israel publishes the high ranking Hamas members that are confirmed dead but don't report civ/"grunts"
Not that I am saying we should take the health ministry word as fact (they lied before, Al-Ahli Hospital is just an example) but I don't think their numbers would be orders of magnitude off
Look at the number of bombs dropped in an entire year, into an entire country, by the US: https://progressive.org/latest/usa-bombs-drop-benjamin-davie... That gives an idea of the scale of the bombing in Gaza...it's HUGE.
There's almost certainly an extremely high number of civilian deaths, without having to look at the Gaza Health Ministry numbers at all.
They also do not admit that the zionist army kills its own people, as per the straight admission of one of the kibutz survivors. Look for the interview on youtube.
[1] several sources, and most recently the NYT have shown that the rocket that the zinoist media said it caused the blast in the hospital actually came from israel.
I haven't seen anything that showed any conclusive proof that the rocket came from Israel, the blast pattern doesn't match any armaments that Israel has airburst or not.
I'm happy to change my mind with a link that provides concrete evidence though, can you provide one.
Furthermore, yesterday or 2 days ago, the zionist media released CGI footage of a supposed secret HQ under the hospital. Why now? It seems they are paving the way to justify what may be discovered in the future. The did shell the hospital 3 days before the blast, I wouldn't be surprised if the cause of the blast was another shelling that blew up cars in the parking lot.
The zionist media has been desperately lying through its teeth: https://twitter.com/QudsNen/status/1718547315764441095

I did and this doesn’t sound very “conclusive” at all
>> The Times’s finding does not answer what actually did cause the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital blast, or who is responsible.

This tweets main source appears to the GreyZone which is a pro Russian propaganda rag that mostly peddles in misinformation I wouldn’t find it credible.
