UN Revises/Reduces Gaza Death Numbers for Women, Children by Almost Half, Explanation Is Embarrassing
Nick Arama


The UN just made an embarrassing adjustment to their estimated number of deaths in Gaza. They just halved the number of women and children previously estimated to have been killed.

    While more than 9,500 women and 14,500 children were reported among the fatalities by the UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) on May 6, two days later that number was revised significantly downward. Today, under 5,000 women and 8,000 children are now officially listed by the UN as casualties.

Part of the problem was that they were using numbers from Hamas-controlled sources. And even now, that's still what they're relying on — the numbers from the Gaza Health Ministry. Listen as the UN spokesperson tries to explain how the numbers can be so off — but hey, you can rely on them, because we're always checking on them — even though they were running with incorrect numbers.

Fishrrman:
Multiply that by .5 one or two more times, for a number that's probably closer to the truth.

Probably not, but that's only by defining "children" as under 18, and thus including 17, 16 and possibly 15 year old Hamas fighters killed in combat a "deaths of children."
