Nearly 70 percent of deaths in Gaza are women and children: UN
Nearly 70 percent of deaths in Gaza are women and children: UN
Overall, 44 percent of the victims were children; the youngest was a day-old boy and the oldest was a 97-year-old woman.
You're viewing a single thread.
That's 70% of confirmed deaths. So essentially this number is meaningless, as we don't know the whole picture.
Yes so there's probably thousands more buried under robble or incinerated because of 2000 lb bottle was dropped on their house.
Fuck man, they went a little overboard with the propaganda at your school and left out all the maths?
And I guess they left out reading comprehension at yours? It's in the first paragraph of the article.
United Nations human rights chief Volker Turk has condemned Israel’s “apparent indifference” to the killing of civilians in Gaza, after a new report from his agency showed that nearly 70 percent of verified deaths were of women and children.
"This number is meaningless"
That's what you said.
Even if it's just of verified deaths, then you can still double the victim number, and still have 35% of the victims be women and children.
So is the number truly meaningless, or are you saying "it's meaningless" just as an attempt to downplay the genocide Israel is committing?
you can still double the victim number, and still have 35% of the victims be women and children.
Not quite. You see, we don't know which deaths have been verified. From all we could know the rest of the unverified deaths could be Hamas terrorists. So doubling the number and expecting the same ratio is where you're making shit up.
If it were the same ratio it would be 70%. 35% is if the death count doubled with zero additional women or children killed.
The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) published the report on Friday, having verified 8,119 of the more than 34,500 people reportedly killed during the first six months of Israel’s war in Gaza...
That's less than 25% of all reported deaths. The numbers can fluctuate dramatically, depending on if they didn't verify dead terrorists for one reason or another.
