🧵CRITICAL GAZA CASUALTY FINDINGS: UN published 24,686 “identified” Gaza fatalities based on Hamas list of names and IDs. However 4,063 (16%) persons have missing, false or duplicate IDs. Some were even listed as killed in 2014! Detailed analysis of fake "identified" deaths: 1/

On May 5 Hamas “Ministry of Health” released 498 page PDF with 24,682 names (not 24,686) supposedly each person rigorously identified with valid IDs based on actual bodies as opposed to “unidentified” deaths which actually means bodies are missing too. 2/

1693 claimed fatalities, which are supposed to be fully identified by name and ID according to the UN, are missing an ID number (at center). Just blank. Here is one sample (see p. 428). Without an ID they should of course be considered "unidentified" based on UN criteria. 3/

821 claimed fatalities have less than the required 9 digit ID number. Another 16 claimed deaths have 10 digits. For example, here is a group of claimed fatalities with preposterous nine consecutive numbers all with incorrect 8 digits (from p. 264). 4/

1522 claimed fatalities have invalid ID numbers proven by incorrect check digit. You can’t just make up any 9 digit ID, the final digit must follow a formula of first 8 digits. These invalid IDs thus appear faked. There are far too many to be just a few data entry errors. 5/

Here is an obvious example of faked ID numbers: 3 consecutively recorded deaths of people born five years apart with consecutive ID numbers (see p. 159). Falsification is proven since every set of first 8 digits can only have one 9th check digit. All three are wrong. 6/

Next, there are 9 duplicates in the list. Again, with these deaths supposedly identified body-by-body by Ministry of Health this is already too many errors. Here are two examples of duplicates from the same document, far right shows the row number. 7/

Final category: 2 deaths already reported in Gaza in 2014 are again reported as deaths today! See Palestinian WAFA website list of “martyrs” from 2014 war. Here are screenshots of 2 ID's from 2014 list of deaths and from 2024 list. They aged 10 years. 8/

Fakery of deaths has been evident from day one, even the so-called “identified” deaths the UN deems fit to certify shows 1 of every 6 claimed fatalities in error. That’s not a “margin of error” but deliberate falsification. @chrislindmeier Mr. Lindmeier, care to comment? END
