Changes in how the UN calculates Gaza’s casualties have been cited as evidence of bias. They aren’t.
Has the UN really said fewer people were killed by Israel in Gaza?
No, is the short answer.
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) published on May 8 an infographic that referred to a figure of 34,844 total Palestinian deaths.
Below that, it said of the deaths: “24,686 identified as of 30 April as: 10,006 men, 4,959 women, 7,797 children, 1,924 elderly”.
The graphic used the Gaza Ministry of Health (MoH) figures and included a note that figures were “Not including more than 10,000 reported missing or under the rubble”.
