You're mistaken, please let me help you!

Hamas, as Gaza's ruling authority, exerts control over the Health Ministry. But it's different than political and security agencies that Hamas runs.
The Palestinian Authority, which controlled Gaza before Hamas overran the area in 2007, retains power over health and education services in Gaza, though it's based in the occupied West Bank. The ministry is a mix of recent Hamas hires and older civil servants affiliated with the secular nationalist Fatah party, officials say.

Thanks for confirming that Hamas does infact control the Health Ministry.

Yeah, but they also kinda don't.

Also, why do you have a problem with the numbers when historically they've always been proven accurate?
