The Israeli army estimates there are 1.85 million people in Gaza. Subtracting the 100,000 estimated to have left for Egypt before Israel occupied Rafah crossing, it puts the death toll at an estimated 400,000.
OK folks, I’m seeing a lot of questions about this, so to clarify: in 2023 the estimated population in Gaza was 2.3million. The account was originated with the UN, it would regularly be cited by human rights organizations and in media reports. This is the first page of the search
You’ll note one story from all the above, by UNRWA is different from the rest, because it discusses that they’ve changed the number from 2.3 to 2.1 on July 2024, but does not explain why. Human rights organizations, the media, and @theIPCinfo followed suit unocha.org/publications/r…
@theIPCinfo Thanks for highlighting @adequatehousing 🙏
2⃣ The @clashreport image was blurred, but on 16 Jan 2024, the same image, this time unblurred, was published by @/MOSSADil with the quote "and upon the earth beneath: there is none else" (Deuteronomy 4:39)
You can see it at https://xDOTcom/MOSSADil/status/1747357098684330422
Translator's note: The full verse isn't really important; the reason @/MOSSADil chose this quote is because the word for 'beneath' in modern Hebrew also means "ass". The sentence doesn't even really make sense in the context of the image.
Day #58 of the #GHF thread👇🧵 It's been a week now that Israel has been attacking any and all aid sites, including improvised parking trucks, and it's getting harder and harder to tell what's a GHF massacre and what isn't.
Day #51 of the #GHF thread👇🧵still no reports on casualty totals after 4 days but according to averages, I conservatively estimate the death toll at the killing fields to be about 1000 people and the injuries would stand at about 6700.
