Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death to the 37 396 deaths reported, it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186 000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza. Using the 2022 Gaza Strip population estimate of 2 375 259, this would translate to 7·9% of the total population in the Gaza Strip.

Didn’t the US Congress just pass a bill prohibiting state department from quoting Gaza death toll?
If 200000 people are murdered but nobody can say it are they really dead
I’m gonna say the estimate is probably quite low if even the msm is picking this story up.
It’s probably closer to 500k.
Zionists are worse then nazis
That’s horrible
Ugh… fuck… I could almost break down reading this.
I hope that this is an overcount, but it probably isn’t.
undercount, it’s described as a conservative estimate
