According to a new study that was published in the esteemed medical magazine The Lancet, Israel’s war on Gaza may have claimed more lives overall than 186,000.
This concerning number accounts for indirect mortality from illnesses and the failure of vital services, even in the event that hostilities ended right away.
Over 38,000 Palestinians have died as a result of Israel’s military incursion that began on October 7 in response to deadly Hamas attacks, according to Gaza’s Ministry of Health.
The Lancet analysis, however, shows that this figure does not take into consideration the thousands of people who are buried beneath the debris and the people who have died as a result of the devastation of food distribution networks, medical facilities, and other crucial infrastructure.
