Are Gaza's official fatality numbers reliable -- and what can they tell us about *who* is being killed in the war?

To find out, I analyzed the data from the Gazan Ministry of Health (Moh) statistically with @Michael_Spagat. Key findings below 🧵

aoav.org.uk/2023/are-the-g… Context:

Last Thursday, Biden heaped skepticism on the official Gazan fatality numbers, sparking a political firestorm.

In response, Gaza's MoH released a detailed document listing the name, ID #, sex, and age of each of the 7028 fatalities at the time.

Great to see my new article with @HuangReyko and Benjamin Acosta at @ISQ_Jrnl.
