Yesterday The Lancet published this article "conservatively" estimating that the death toll in the Gaza genocide could be 186,000 people or more. #Gaza

@pvonhellermannn I can't stand the hypocrisy of the media, that does a one-sided reporting when dealing with a genocidal regime like Israel. Yes, defend yourself from a terrorist attack, but don't bomb hospitals you evil schmuks.

@pvonhellermannn @carkner to be clear (I agree things are dire) this is an estimate of future deaths from indirect causes:

>Even if the conflict ends immediately, there will continue to be many indirect deaths in the coming months and years from causes such as reproductive, communicable, and non-communicable diseases.

>In recent conflicts, such indirect deaths range from three to 15 times the number of direct deaths. Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death to the 37 396 deaths reported, it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186 000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza.
