What the Evidence Shows

The claim asserts that at least 60,034 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks since the start of Israel's war on Gaza. Multiple recent and reputable sources provide death toll estimates that are close but do not confirm this exact figure. For example, DAWN.

The claim appears to be a rounded or slightly inflated figure beyond the most recent verified counts. Additionally, casualty figures in conflict zones are often subject to reporting delays and verification challenges.

Therefore, while the death toll is tragically high and close to the claimed number, the specific figure of at least 60,034 is not supported by available evidence at this time.
