The list released by the Gaza health ministry contains the names, ages, genders, and ID numbers of more than 80 per cent or 34,344 victims of the war.&nbsp;

It also mentions 7,613 other people that have perished in the war, and whose bodies were received by the hospitals and morgues in the territory but whose identities are yet to be confirmed. The total death toll on the Palestinian side has crossed 41,000 as per reports.

The 649-page-long document lists the dead largely by age. It underlines the shockingly high toll of Israeli attacks on Palestinian children, with over a hundred pages of the list filled with victims under the age of 10.

The list of dead Palestinians includes 11,355 children, 6,297 women and 2,955 people aged 60 or older. Among the men, surely many are civilians of fighting age who died in the ongoing war.
