First independent survey of deaths in Gaza reports more than 80,000 fatalities
Briefly

An independent survey estimates approximately 84,000 deaths in Gaza linked to the ongoing Hamas-Israel war, with a significant portion comprising women and children. This study, although not yet peer-reviewed, contrasts with earlier figures by the Palestinian Ministry of Health, which reported 56,200 deaths, sparking debates on data reliability due to wartime challenges in data collection. Researchers collaborated with the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research to ensure a representative sample, despite limitations in accessing certain conflict areas. The survey reinforces earlier findings from another research group, contributing to a more robust understanding of the war's human impact.
