Credited from: VOANEWS

  • The **London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine** analysis estimates over **64,000 Palestinian deaths** from violence in Gaza between October 2023 and June 2024, indicating a **41% underreporting** compared to official figures.
  • The **official death toll** was reported at **37,877**, with **59%** of those deceased being **women, children, or the elderly**, consistent with other estimates.
  • The study utilized a **capture-recapture analysis** method, cross-referencing three different data sources to evaluate the death toll, noting many deaths may remain unrecorded.
  • Excluding indirect deaths and **missing persons**, the report suggests actual mortality could be even higher, further complicating the understanding of the conflict's toll.
  • Israel has disputed these findings, citing **anti-Israel bias** in publications and emphasizing their measures to protect civilians during military operations.
