How Warconomy uses this source

OCHA's oPt situation reports and impact snapshots relay casualty figures from Gaza's Ministry of Health and, for the West Bank, OCHA's own protection monitoring. OCHA states explicitly that MoH figures are 'yet-to-be-verified by the UN' and attributed to their source (MoH and Israeli authorities); OCHA does not independently verify the cumulative Gaza toll. Manually checked per update; not fetched at runtime and not real-time.
