More than 900 people have been killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza this year despite the ceasefire, according to latest figures from the territory's Hamas-run Ministry of Health.

It brings the total number of people killed in the Strip since the 10 October ceasefire was declared to more than 1,300, including 301 children, the ministry says.

Hamas and Israel agreed to halt the war after accepting US President Donald Trump's 20-point peace plan. That plan included a suspension of "all military operations, including aerial and artillery bombardment".

Since then, BBC Verify has analysed dozens of videos which show the impact of Israeli strikes on locations including a beachside cafe, tents where displaced people have been sheltering, and a reported funeral procession in central Gaza.

Recent months have been some of the most deadly according to the figures, with more than 100 people recorded killed each month between April and August.

The health ministry attributes the deaths directly to Israeli military action, but does not distinguish between civilians and combatants.

The UN considers the figures reliable, and experts have told BBC Verify that their independent analysis is consistent with the ministry's data.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) disputes the ministry's figures. It told BBC Verify there is "no basis to assume" that all those listed were killed as a result of IDF activity.
