The United Nations has released new data indicating a significant reduction (50%) in the reported deaths of women and children in Gaza.
“The UN has so far not been able to produce independent, comprehensive, and verified casualty figures,” the world body stated in its disclaimer.
The UN data, published on May 6, indicates that of the 34,735 total fatalities in Gaza, more than 9,500 were women and 14,500 were children. This data, provided by Hamas, suggests that women and children comprised nearly 70% of the casualties.
However, two days later, the UN published new revised data indicating that 4,959 women and 7,797 children, out of a total of 34,844 Gazans, had been killed since Hamas launched its devastating attack against Israel on Oct. 7.
