The British medical journal, The Lancet, has issued a harrowing warning that the true death toll of the Gaza conflict could be over 186,000, accounting for 8 per cent of Gaza’s population, Anadolu Agency reports.
The current official death toll stands at nearly 38,200, according to Gazan government sources.
However, The Lancet’s recent report published Friday and titled “Counting the Dead in Gaza: Difficult but Essential”, suggests this figure is a significant underestimate.
