A study published via the Harvard Dataverse reveals that Israel has “disappeared” at least 377,000 Palestinians since the start of its genocidal campaign against the Gaza Strip in 2023.

Half of this number is believed to be Palestinian children.

The report was written by Israeli professor Yaakov Garb, who used data-driven analysis and spatial mapping to show how the Israeli army’s siege of Gaza and indiscriminate attacks on civilians in the enclave have led to a serious drop in its population.

The 377,000 Palestinians who are unaccounted for due to Israel’s genocide are approximately 17 percent of the Gaza Strip’s entire population, which now stands at about 1.85 million. Prior to the war in Gaza, the strip’s population was estimated at 2.227 million.

While some are displaced or missing, a significant number are believed to have been killed by Israeli forces, according to the report.

What is there even to say to this shit anymore?

theres almost a 50/50 split between Palestinians under and over 18 so the number matches up if you killed indiscriminately

This matches a lot more with what I would expect than the official numbers, especially since they've completely lost the infrastructure to keep track of all of it.

seriously.. that 40,000 number is so fucking tired and not even remotely close to the truth.. there's just no possible way.. they've killed hundreds upon hundreds more people every single day that are just going to the food aid lines.. and somehow that number just stays the same 40,000 whatever

It's holocaust denial at this point. The Lancet estimated 186,000 eleven months ago.

Anyone throwing around numbers like 40k, 60k etc are either just straight up lying on behalf of the Israeli state or on behalf of themselves because they know they're complicit.
