Between October 7 and December 15, approximately 18,800 Palestinians have died, 70% of whom were women and children. The death toll includes over 300 health sector workers, 86 journalists, 135 employees of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, and around 35 civil defense crews. In addition, more than 51,100 people have been reportedly wounded, with many others unaccounted for.

The report further states that out of 36 hospitals in the enclave, only eight are partially functional. Occupancy rates in inpatient departments have surged to 206%, while intensive care units are operating at a staggering 250% capacity.

and no doubt hamas is exagerating to some degree

First, you're going to need some sort of evidence to back up this claim. Second, Hamas isn't who is publishing these numbers.

It's in their interest to exaggerate, and they are under the control of a terrorist organization.

My understanding is that the only people tracking & publishing the numbers is the Palestinian health ministry, which is under the control of Hamas. Everyone else is just saying "Gaza's health ministry said X" and such.

That's not evidence, that's another claim. Please provide evidence.

My understanding

You don't understand the difference between evidence and a claim, so it's no surprise that you don't understand anything else that you said after those two words.
