UN quietly revises casualty figures of women and children - reducing them by half

[Shusha]

On May 8, the UN's Office for the Coordination of Human Affairs (OCHA) posted revised casualty figures for the Gaza war, without a press release.

The new figures reduce child deaths from more than 14,500 to 7,797; women's deaths from over 9,500 to 4,959 - a reduction by half. The new figures claim men's deaths at 10,000.

Hamas has clearly been inflating the figures. The UN has probably just found proof of it.

And, of course, these numbers are STILL quite far from reality.

Clue. The UN has the total at 34,000 and it is acknowledged that these kinds of numbers are always under counts.

Well, they are still obtained from Hamas. Just a different branch of Hamas.

How do you find out how many people have died in a conflict?

 

[IM2]

And so we are to pretend that 20,000 plus Palestinian deaths for 1,400 Israeli deaths is not that bad.

We have of course known for a long time these figures are as accurate as everything else being claimed by the palestinian Arab side. Even Hamas admitted this, yet only now the UN have revised their estimates.

And the UN are blaming it on the “fog of war”:

It’s funny how this “fog” always seems to lead to Israel being blamed for things we didn’t do. Guilty until presumed innocent.

Go figure.

And you think these are acceptable murders?

And you think these are acceptable murders?

What does it suggest to you that they feel the need to inflate the numbers?

With a freaking pen and paper. Duh

Are the numbers inflated? When you look at the level of destruction in Gaza, it is hard to believe in these "adjusted" numbers.

The UN just admitted the numbers most people are quoting are inflated - doubled, in fact. Why do you think Hamas supplies inflated numbers to anyone who will listen?

It has nothing to do with Hamas. I don't believe Israel. You fuckers are known liars! I don't believe a single word out of an Israeli mouth.

Hamas is supplying the numbers to the UN. The UN has just admitted that the numbers supplied by Hamas are inflated. They have adjusted their reporting accordingly (though the new numbers also are reported by Hamas, and can't be trusted either).

These are not numbers supplied by Israel, but by Hamas. You trust Hamas, right? To provide accurate casualty figures, right?

No, I don't trust Hamas

Are you really answering it like this? Fuck me.

If the World cared about reducing Palestinians casualties and trauma to Palestinian children, the World wout EVACUATE the Palestinians out of there pronto...and Egypt refuses to help them. Only JORDAN helps Palestinians...

Why did the UN not doubt the gaza death ministry in the first place - is the question.

UN Halves Its Estimate of Women and Children Killed in Gaza.
Between May 6 and May 8, the UN cut in half its estimates of the number of women and children killed in Gaza. The estimates were based on Hamas numbers and are a reminder that all fatality estimates coming from that source are unreliable.
Blog Post by Elliott Abrams.
From the beginning of the Gaza war on October 7th, almost every statement about Palestinian fatalities has been based on Hamas numbers. The “Gaza Ministry of Health” or the “Government Media Office” are the usual sources, as if those words meant anything other than Hamas.

The UN claimed 23,084 dead by January 7. On February 29, NPR said more than 30,000 had been killed. Wikipedia says “As of May 8….over 34,2623 have been killed, 70% of them are women and minors.” Time Magazine carried an article by a professor at the Columbia University School of Public Health on March 15 that claimed more than 30,000 were dead and said “Actually, the numbers are likely conservative. The science is extremely clear.” President Biden has used the 30,0000 figure himself, in his State of the Union speech.

It has become increasingly clear that these numbers represent Hamas propaganda. The best analysis was done by Prof. Abraham Wyner [How the Gaza Ministry of Health Fakes Casualty Numbers] of the Wharton School at Penn, in an article in Tablet Magazine. He demonstrates conclusively that “The numbers are not real. That much is obvious to anyone who understands how naturally occurring numbers work. The casualties are not overwhelmingly women and children….”

On May 8, the UN published data showing 34,844 people had reportedly been killed, including 4,959 women and 7,797 children.

Well then, only 12,756 dead women and children. All OK I guess.
