- •More than 72,700 people have been killed in Gaza since the war began, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, a figure judged broadly reliable by the international community
- •Since the October ceasefire backed by Washington, more than 850 additional deaths have been recorded in the Palestinian enclave according to the same source
BIASES
Pronounced humanitarian framing: Canadian media accord equivalent coverage to the toll of Palestinian deaths and military operation detailsPreference for international institutional sources: the Gaza Health Ministry figure is cited with validation by the international community, reinforcing credibilityLimited coverage of Ottawa diplomatic reactions: no official statements from the Canadian government are reported in available articles
QATARSTATEDOMINANT ANGLE

Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
