🧵Critical Thread. Close review of Gaza casualty figures reported by UN OCHA based on daily Hamas “Ministry of Health” numbers proves they are FALSIFIED. Women & children are grossly inflated. This is easily proven but media ignores. See detailed expose below: 1/
UN OCHA publishes a daily “flash update” since Oct 8 and cites detailed Gaza casualty figures provided by Hamas. The website and data is available to the public here: Sometime in October the UN provided the data in graphic form, here is the latest. 2/ ochaopt.org/crisis
It is immediately obvious that Hamas does not report ANY combatant deaths & the numbers amazingly seem to indicate that IDF bombs & bullets disproportionately hit women, children & elderly. They IDF CANNOT seem to hit too many fighting age men. But the numbers are faked. 3/
It first becomes apparent on Oct 19 reporting where Hamas reports 3,785 deaths vs 3,478 prior day or +307. But children killed magically move up from 853 to 1,524 or +671. Oct 18 reporting deaths were 25% children but next day it jumps to 40%! UN published detail is below: 4/
No explanation is given. There is no adjustment at later dates. The running count continues from 1,524 until today. No questioning, no skepticism from UN, NGOs or media on how the children killed number jumps all of a sudden. But there are more falsifications at later dates. 5/
Oct 26 Hamas reported 7,028 fatalities vs 6,547 prior day or +481. Remarkably women & children killed jump by +626 that same day! (See my math in blue below). No men died that day apparently. Again, no hint of shame or skepticism by UN to publish these Hamas numbers. 6/
More Hamas fabricated numbers. October 29 +302 new fatalities were reported but somehow comprised of +199 women and +129 children which comes to +328 or 26 more than total fatalities! (My math shown in blue) Men came back to life? But sure, let’s rely on these statistics. 7/
More daily lies. On Oct 31, 8,525 reported fatalities vs 8,309 prior day or +216. New fatalities of women & children were +210. (Detail for Oct 30 presented by UN in text format). Which means ONLY SIX men of any age were killed that day! That’s 2.8% of that day's fatalities! 8/
There’s more. On Nov 7 Hamas reported 10,328 total fatalities vs 10,022 prior day or +306. New fatalities of women & children +302. Which means ONLY FOUR men of any age were killed that day! That’s 1.3% of that day's fatalities. This is what NGOs & UN rely upon. 9/
Another unmentioned changed: as of Nov 20 “Ministry of Health” stopped reporting numbers and since then it’s the “Media Office” taking charge. Hamas is not even pretending that these numbers are reliable anymore it's just PR. Retweet to media outlets to expose these lies. END
