Lancet Study Reveals Gaza Death Toll ‘Undercounted’ By At Least 40 Percent – The Cradle

 Lancet Study Reveals Gaza Death Toll ‘Undercounted’ By At Least 40 Percent

The study found that almost 60 percent of the deaths are women, children, and elderly people

A new study published by The Lancet medical journal on 9 January reveals that the death toll from Israel’s genocide in Gaza was most likely undercounted by 41 percent in the first nine months of the war.

The study was carried out by scholars at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, Yale University, and other institutions.

It focused on the period between October 2023 and June 2024. The study places the toll up until that point at 64,260, around 8,000 more than the current death toll.

“We estimated 64,260 deaths due to traumatic injury during the study period, suggesting the Palestinian Ministry of Health (MoH) under-reported mortality by 41 percent. The annualized crude death rate was 39.3 per 1000 people, representing a rate ratio of 14.0 compared with all-cause mortality in 2022, even when ignoring non-injury excess mortality,” the study says.

Around 59.1 percent of those killed were women, children, and elderly.
