RAMALLAH, West Bank, Jan 15 (Reuters) - Figures from Gaza now put the civilian toll at 698 dead or about 65 percent of overall fatalities, the Gaza-based Palestinian Centre for Human Rights said on Thursday.
Samih Mohen of the organisation's office in Ramallah in the West Bank said the toll to midnight on January 14th included 230 children, 76 women, seven medical workers, three journalists and two United Nations contractors. The rest -- 380 dead -- were adult males, he said.
This number did not include 166 civil police killed by Israeli bombing on the first day of the offensive, which other reports may have placed among the list of civilian casualties. He said the centre counts casualties independently of the Hamas-run Health Ministry in Gaza. Its figures are collected daily by the organisation's field workers who visit Gaza hospitals, clinics and morgues, Mohen said.
