        It’s only the dead that can be named or found, there must be thousands more still stuck in all the rubble. A letter published by The Lancet even established that the death count could go as high as 186 000.

        We will never now the true extent until it’s far too late.

          Yeah, of course. The number was basically static for months after all hospitals were rendered inoperable, as that’s where the counting was done. Probably part of the reason they were targeted.

    The deaths are much much higher. The IDF targets healthcare employees same as journalists. Can’t count if you’re dead I guess. World’s most moral army, they said.

    The British medical Journal “The Lancet” estimated 100,000-250,000 dead and that was last year.

    This is a genocide and corporate Western media is complicit.

    The BBC is run by Zionists like Robbie Gibb and Raffi Berg. They are deliberately downplaying the deaths.

      Literally the first paragraph:

      The UN’s Human Rights Office has condemned the high number of civilians killed in the war in Gaza, saying its analysis shows close to 70% of verified victims over a six-month period were women and children.

        I guess the BBC insisting on stating “Hamas-run” in its titles related to this conflict is not about partiality or transparency but rather create a false equivalence with the armed forces. It’s an oversimplification aimed at creating a certain narrative, and based on multiple sources it’s a policy of theirs not to display “bias” against israel.
