The United Nations has revised its estimate of women and children killed in Gaza, halving the previous figures. Initially, the UN reported 9,500 women and 14,500 children killed, but later revised the numbers downward. The Gaza death toll, including over 35,000 fatalities, remains a contentious issue, with the UN attributing the discrepancies to a 'fog of war.' The revised figures have sparked debates about the reliability of data sources, particularly the Hamas-run Ministry of Health in Gaza.
#FromTheSouth News Bits | Palestine: The Gaza Strip's Health Ministry raised the death toll from Israeli attacks since October 7 on the Palestinian territory to 35,303. https://t.co/8qG9ydfNnq
The UN revised downward its estimates of how many women and children have died in Gaza—without explaining the discrepancies. Accurate numbers matter, @gcaw writes. “The fog of statistics could be dispersed with just a few sentences of straight talk.” https://t.co/UqBeY44xqd
This is either disinformation, or willful ignorance. The #Gaza death toll stands at 35,303, plus 79,261 injured & ~10,000 bodies under rubble. The lower number is merely those comprehensively identified. Even #Netanyahu acknowledged the 30,000+ death figure a week ago. https://t.co/5XNXDx2NEr

The U.N. lowered its tally of women and children killed over the past seven months in the Gaza Strip. But the U.N. maintains that the Gaza Health Ministry’s overall death toll of more than 35,000 people killed in Israel's military offensive is reliable. https://t.co/EBC2tklHQS
