The United Nations appears to be reporting and inconsistent number of women and child casualties in Gaza, and at one point, cut these numbers in half.
On May 8, the UN published that there were 34,844 fatalities in Gaza since October 7th. This number was said to include 4,959 women and 7,797 children, comprising 20 percent and 32 percent of the total, respectively.
However, just two days previous, the UN reported that 34,735 were dead, with 9,500 women killed and 14,500 children.
Rather than providing an explanation for such a wide disparity, the UN stated that it “has so far not been able to produce independent, comprehensive, and verified casualty figures.”
Yeah, sure. What really happened here? We may never know but what we do know is that as long as the UN got another dig at Israel with the initial incorrect numbers, they’re closer to their continued goal of destroying Israel.
