In the heart of Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza, morgue workers face the grim task of wrapping the bodies of those killed in Israeli airstrikes in white cloth. The stench of death permeates as basic details such as name, ID number, age, and sex are recorded. With badly mutilated bodies, only identified or claimed ones are granted burial; the rest linger in the morgue's refrigerator.

Gaza's Health Ministry reports a death toll of around 20,000, with renewed international calls for a ceasefire. However, the closure of most hospitals, loss of healthcare professionals, and communication challenges hinder accurate casualty reporting.

Morgue workers, some volunteering, endure immense psychological tolls. Hamad Hassan Al Najjar reveals the shock of discovering friends or relatives among the deceased. The toll includes the morgue director and family killed in an Israeli airstrike.

The Israel Defense Forces express regret for civilian deaths, attributing them to Hamas using densely populated areas. The United Nations vouches for the data's quality, while international efforts, including academics and volunteers, analyze Gaza Health Ministry data for corroborative evidence.

Amid the chaos, London-based Airwars investigates civilian deaths, relying on social media and official documents. However, with entire families wiped out, accurately estimating the toll becomes a daunting challenge, leaving countless stories untold.
