I wouldn’t be suprised if it’s 10x that number.
It almost certainly is. Trump might’ve let it slip when he announced that plan to relocate 1.7 or 1.8 million people out of Gaza when prior to Oct 7 2.2 million people lived there. That’s a difference of 400 to 500 thousand people.
We have to remember whenever we hear this ridiculously low death toll it’s only those that can be confirmed by the health ministry (which has been a priority target for Israel for exactly this reason). People who are vaporized by bombs or buried under tons of rubble aren’t included.
I have no doubt that hundreds of thousands of people have been murdered by Israel since October 7, 2023.
True, but the gaza health ministry is conservative and cautious with its numbers (to their credit). Every single number there is a definitely dead person, no contesting it in anything approaching good faith.
Does this number include people dying of malnutrition or not receiving proper healthcare for treatable causes?
Kinda. If they made it to a hospital or had family who could report their deaths, then possibly. But it is a (massive) undercount, we all know that. They know that. The point of this number is to be a conservative count.
This number is genocide denial at this point
