On June 27th, the U.S. House of Representatives passed an amendment (269-144) that bar’s the U.S. State Department from using Gazan death toll statistics as provided by the only reporting agency on the ground, the Gaza Health Ministry (GHM).
To preface the decision we must note that the State Department has been using statistics from the GHM for decades and the accuracy of the reporting has been corroborated by the UN and WHO and most mainstream publications.
