How many casualties are there amongst Gaza's population?
It depends.
At the New School last week, it was up to 40,000 dead.
UN data suggests large revision in Gaza war casualty figures. In reports released on May 6 and 8, previous estimates based on info provided by the Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health, the Government Media Office in Gaza, and Israel were seemingly halved. On May 6, the UN disclosed that 34,735 individuals had reportedly lost their lives in Gaza, with over 9,500 women and over 14,500 children among the reported casualties. However, just two days later, on May 8, revised figures showed a total of 34,844 fatalities, including 4,959 women and 7,797 children.
Then again, the UN Halves Its Estimate of Women and Children Killed in Gaza.
At OCHA on May 10, one can read that "Between 7 October 2023 and 9 May 2024, at least 34,904 Palestinians were killed in Gaza and 78,514 Palestinians were injured, according to MoH in Gaza."
Yesterday, the BBC reported that "more than 34,900 people have been killed in Gaza since then, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry."
Reuters, today, reads: "The Palestinian death toll in the war has now surpassed 35,000, according to Gaza health officials who fear many more bodies are lost under the rubble."
According to UPI, "The death toll in Gaza has since surpassed 35,000 people, according to Gazan health officials, who claim many of the victims are women and children."
And today, AP reads similarly: "Israel’s offensive has killed more than 35,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, according to the health ministry in Gaza."
However, are those figures reliable?
Are they statistically possible?
Could there be flaws?
Has the data been reviewed and checked?
Are perhaps they are faked?
Maybe there's no evidence of errors?
What's really going on?
They a scam?
Perhaps manipulated?
Wait. Is this an old story?
And why is it important?
UN blames ‘fog of war’ for major overcounting of Gazan child deaths
And Israel's official estimation: in excess of 14,000 terrorists; 16,000 civilians

There should not be any casualties. P.S. I did read through the links.
It’s about Islamic Bigotry stupid. OIC/ICC/ICJ same “difference” by now.
What is the difference between the Islamic countries block [lobby] OIC control in the UN and: ICJ –especially under racist Arab Nawaf Salam– and ICC–especially under Islamic Karim Khan? – the latter is also a hypocrite, given his defense for Charkes Taylor, Liberian war criminal.
Just like twisted misrepresented “report” by Omar Shakir apartheid slur (2021), using HRW for his long time bigoted activities long before joining the organization. At least since 2010.

Once in a while Israel has the chance to expose the bypocrisy of the Arab Islamic lobbying on the international stage.
Today, the Arab countries, like a traditional anti Israel campaign, this time a so-called "Syrian-Palestinian Resolution" headed by Egypt, introduced a typical anti Israel resolution at the UN.
So, this time, Israel added a clause about Hamas' kidnapping men women and children and abusing infrastructure for terror. (It the organization is really about health and infrastructure, etc...).
The ugly part is that the anti-Israel current governments like of Slovenia and Norway abstained.
The ambassador asked Norway, so you chose now to recognize a palestine state, but what are you objecting to? Are you with Hamas on kidnapping?
So the Arabs were shocked and Egypt announced that it withdraws the resolution...
