Gaza toll could exceed 186,000, Lancet study says

A study published in The Lancet suggests the true death toll in Gaza could exceed 186,000, far higher than the official count of 38,000. The estimate includes indirect deaths due to infrastructure destruction and health system collapse. The study applies a conservative ratio of four indirect deaths per direct death, potentially affecting 8% of Gaza’s pre-war population. It emphasizes the importance of accurate documentation for historical accountability and legal requirements.Source:Jagonews
