11. From what I've read, the Gaza government officials have only counted actual bodies.

We’ve all seen numerous photos of most of Gaza’s apartment buildings and other structures bombed to rubble. The bodies of the people buried under that rubble have not been excavated and thus have not been counted. I’ve seen no estimates of how many thousands may still be buried, but given these were homes, schools, and businesses, the likelihood is that the death toll is considerably higher than reported.

In some areas, the IDF bulldozed the rubble without even attempting to excavate the bodies or allowing Palestinians to do so.
