Remember when the Lancet came up with a study that revealed a somewhat realistic death count in July? And then international hasbara went into action and pushed the number back to 35K, like we didn't see the 2000lb bombs drop on civilian areas daily? www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/7/...
Gaza toll could exceed 186,000, Lancet study says
The study finds factors like diseases will lead to many more indirect deaths in the long run even if the war stops now.
