Those figures are bunk.
377,000 Palestinians are missing in Gaza. The original population of 2.2 million is now down to 1.8 million.
One innocent death is a tragedy and everything else is a statistic. And no one can claim to have a firm grip on the numbers. Estimates from the Gaza Health Ministry, the Lancet Studies, and the Economist range from 50,000 to 100,000. Israel claims 20,000 of that number are Hamas fighters.
The Lancet study estimate of total Palestinian deaths from Israeli bombings and food siege was 186,000, and
that was nearly a full year ago, before the Israelis shut down food distribution and Trump stepped out the delivery of 2,000lb bombs.
Israel used the equivalent of 5 Hiroshima bombs of TNT on a population of 2.2 million packed into an enclave the size of Manhattan, bombed their healthcare system, their utilities, and has been conducting a medieval siege for several months now, and you think they had only 50,000 deaths??
