Inside Gaza the small, densely populated strip of land is now packed with bodies. Families, fleeing repeatedly to escape offensives, bury their dead wherever possible.
The Lancet estimated 186,000 dead which would be 8%, but noted that there’s no real way to know. Since they were a little conservative with their guesswork and about 6 weeks have passed since then, I think 10% dead out of Gaza’s population of 2 million is highly likely by now.
Yeah. I agree with queermunist about the inaccuracy of using the lower bound as if it was the estimate, which almost all of the media is currently doing. 😢
The true death toll passed 40,000 a long time ago. These are just the bodies that have been recovered and identified.
Right, we’re talking likely 2% or more of the entire population killed so far. That’s horrific
Try 10%

Plausible, but estimated. Hard to know the actual count of course.
