The United Nations (UN) has revised its figures for the death toll in Gaza, particularly lowering the number of women and children casualties. This adjustment has sparked confusion and anger, with varying accounts of the fatalities provided by different sources. The Gaza Health Ministry maintains an overall death toll of more than 35,000 people killed in Israel's military offensive, which the UN considers reliable. Questions have arisen regarding the discrepancies in the reported numbers and the handling of data by the UN and other sources.
Revised civilian death figures expose the lie behind claims of ‘genocide’ @JakeWSimons, who rightly asks whether UN officials drinking the Hamas statistical Kool-Aid are useful idiots or just idiots … https://t.co/7AARFTw7Gw
🧵CRITICAL GAZA CASUALTY FINDINGS: UN published 24,686 “identified” Gaza fatalities based on Hamas list of names and IDs. However 4,063 (16%) persons have missing, false or duplicate IDs. Some were even listed as killed in 2014! Detailed analysis of fake "identified" deaths: 1/ https://t.co/Hnh31RftUX
How does @UNOCHA report #Gaza fatalities? @GabrielEpsteinX explains that a recent shift in the total number of women and children killed during the war points to deeper problems in the way #OCHA is relaying data and handling questionable sources. https://t.co/EvSEnANXNZ
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
Here’s what we know about Gaza’s death toll and where those estimates come from https://t.co/uITuIcvdvR
Gaza war: Why is the UN citing lower death toll for women and children? https://t.co/YKAcVfF4Ti
UN’s explanations on new Gazan death toll statistics defy logic | @BWBailey85 https://t.co/lN9TzCE7Tj
The "official" number of fatalities in Gaza varies wildly depending on the source. https://t.co/CBpkbTy77Y
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
No, the United Nations didn’t reduce the number of women and children killed in Gaza by half https://t.co/IKb5tgJCB9
What's going on with the changing accounts of the death toll in Gaza? https://t.co/5AB0aHA8TY
UN lowers by half the number of women and children casualties in Gaza. Every civilian death is a tragedy. The ISIS-styled terrorists that have been running Gaza since 2005 continually lie about the number of deaths for propaganda purposes. @nytimes https://t.co/fxbNV1xxWb
U.N.’s new breakdown of Gaza death toll sparks confusion and anger “some Israeli officials incorrectly suggested that the data showed a significant drop in death toll numbers” https://t.co/di3I08oMiW
Thus is the real story behind the UN's new figures for "identified" deaths in Gaza. https://t.co/pOhv5f15f1
