    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%

        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.

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

            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. 😢
