Gaza death toll revised upwards by study as Lancet research challenges previously reported casualty numbers
ai generated text
A peer-reviewed study estimates that the death toll from the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza is between 55,298 and 78,525, with a median of 64,260—41% higher than the Palestinian Health Ministry's count of 37,877. The study suggests the official figures significantly underestimate the toll, which may exceed 70,000 and represent 2.9% of Gaza's pre-war population. The total toll from Israel's military campaign is believed to be even higher.
This situation is threatening the lives of hundreds of patients, including newborns, who depend on electricity to stay alive.
From the data I have seen, I think they are consistent.
We only kept in the analysis those who were confirmed dead by their relatives or confirmed dead by the morgues and the hospital.
Then we looked at the overlaps between the three lists, and based on the overlaps, you can come up with a total estimation of the population that was killed.
Our research reveals a stark reality: the true scale of traumatic injury deaths in Gaza is higher than reported.
