PCBS counted direct deaths, not indirect and not mortality due to policies that caused indirect deaths - purely conflict based, and purely things like shelling, airstrikes, and other kinetic violence. Indirect deaths don’t often go through hospital wards, so those numbers have to be estimated as mentioned.

Your claims that they are inflated - they increased the numbers to include Palestinian refugee camps in neighboring countries btw - are worthless.

Please understand the numbers before making bullshit comments.
