A research team from the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) and the Centre for Demographic Studies (CED) investigated the impact of the conflict in Gaza on mortality. They estimate that 78,318 (70,614-87,504) people were killed in Gaza between October 7, 2023 and December 31, 2024. As a result, life expectancy in Gaza in 2024 fell to nearly half the level expected without the war. An update of their analysis, produced after the publication of the study, revealed that the current violent death toll likely exceeds 100,000.

‘As a result of this unprecedented mortality, life expectancy in Gaza fell by 44% in 2023 and by 47% in 2024 compared with what it would have been without the war—equivalent to losses of 34.4 and 36.4 years, respectively,’ the researcher says. The study also found that the age and gender distribution of violent deaths in Gaza between October 7, 2023, and December 31, 2024, closely resembled the demographic patterns observed in several genocides documented by the United Nations Inter-Agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation (UN IGME). As genocide is a very specific legal term, certain additional criteria must be met for it to be applicable. This was not the focus of this study.

‘Our estimates of the impact of war on life expectancy in Gaza and Palestine are significant, but probably represent only a lower limit of the actual mortality burden. Our analysis focuses exclusively on direct, conflict-related deaths. The indirect effects of war, which are often greater and more long-lasting, are not quantified in our considerations,’ explains Gómez-Ugarte.
100,000 is the low estimate because indirect death that are not combat related are not included (starving, …).
There where 2.1 million people in Gaza. Adjusted for the US population, that would be at least(!) 16.5 million dead Americans. Apparently, no big deal for Hillary Clinton.
I do not need to see any videos and in fact I haven’t.
I’m not an American but the truth is as follows:
