Study reveals significant gap in reported Gaza casualty figures
The latest analysis published in The Lancet indicates that casualty figures from the Gaza conflict may be substantially lower than actual numbers, with researchers estimating a 40% discrepancy in reported deaths.
A comprehensive study conducted by epidemiologists at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine suggests that official tallies have undercounted fatalities. While the Gaza health ministry reported 37,900 deaths, researchers estimate the actual figure could be approximately 64,300.
The United Nations has consistently relied on data from Gaza's health ministry, defending these figures as accurate despite criticism. The ministry's numbers have faced scrutiny, with some parties questioning their reliability.
The research revealed notable demographic patterns among the deceased, with findings indicating that 59% of casualties were among vulnerable populations, including women, children, and elderly individuals.
This analytical study provides new perspectives on the scale of the conflict's impact, suggesting a need for reassessment of previously accepted casualty figures.
