More than 186,000 deaths in Gaza could result from the Israel-Hamas war, according to an analysis published by The Lancet medical journal.
The analysis, which was published in The Lancet’s correspondence section, was not peer-reviewed, but it underscores the difficulty of accurately documenting the conflict’s death toll. The official Gaza toll since Oct. 7 is at least 38,000, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
The researchers pointed to the number of eventual indirect deaths in recent conflicts, which ranged from three to 15 times the number of direct deaths.
“Even if the conflict ends immediately, there will continue to be many indirect deaths in the coming months and years from causes such as reproductive, communicable, and non-communicable diseases,” they wrote.
For their estimate, the researchers added four indirect deaths for each direct death reported so far in Gaza, concluding that “it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186,000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict.”

Counting the death toll in Gaza is a monumental effort that has become increasingly difficult, with international human rights groups and news reports saying the official count is likely incomplete. Authorities have struggled to identify the bodies buried in mass graves, or body parts pulled from the rubble, while suffering from starvation and dehydration themselves.
Israeli government agencies have previously accused the Gaza Health Ministry, which is run by Hamas, of inflating the death toll. President Joe Biden similarly suggested at one point that those numbers are not to be believed. However, human rights groups, news organizations and even Israeli intelligence services have previously considered the health ministry’s numbers to be largely accurate.

Typical MSNBC propaganda. There is no Israel-Hamas war. There are only kikes murdering people with impunity.
Devils incarnate. Supremacist, Racist, Insane Jews on a rampage. I hope Hezbollah wastes the occupation murderers. Scum of the earth!
HOAX. Show us the corpses of the 38,000 Arabs or I call hoax. Show us the bodies of the 6 million Yids or I call hoax.
Mengele you seem to think that only what you see pictures of is real.
186,000? Isn’t that the same number of Assyrians the Angel of the Lord killed in one night? Just asking……

That’s “Nico X” the vile little nazi weasel who uses countless fake names and posts under them. His only schtick is that “Hitler was a good guy”, the sodomite and pedo Aleister Crowley was “also a good guy”, and that the earth is flat, everything is fake, and “duh, nazi moon bases” because … why not!
‘Mike D’ is a well known Jew ADL plant that posts on numerous sites pretending to be a ‘white nationalist’ or ‘libertarian’ type. Its all an act. He was outed months ago by some other poster.
