Gaza War Death Toll: A Tragic Undercount

A recent study suggests the true death toll in Gaza from the first nine months of warfare is far higher than initially reported.

Researchers estimate that over 64,000 Palestinians perished due to traumatic injuries, exceeding official counts by a significant margin.

This alarming figure represents approximately 2.9 percent of Gaza's pre-war population succumbing to war-related trauma.

The analysis, published in The Lancet, highlights the urgent need for a more accurate assessment of the conflict's devastating impact.
