updated as of yesterday (July 21): based on a statistical model developed by a prestigious medical journal called The Lancet, Israel has killed roughly 434,800 people in Gaza since the country’s military started to attack the territory on 8 October 2023. That’s 20.7% of Gaza’s entire pre-conflict population dead. Over half are women and children.

    Ya, this sounds waaaay more correct than the official numbers people have been using for awhile. Unfortunately, just like The Lancet’s last estimates, no media is going to use these.
