Yesterday, they released their latest detailed statistics (as of April 11) of the deceased that they have directly counted in hospitals and that they claim to have verified from reports of relatives:
1,604 elderly
4,512 women
6,996 children
8,360 men
21,472 total
They still mention the total number of casualties that Hamas writes in press releases, as of that date 33,634, because disagreeing with Hamas can have bad consequences.
For the first time, the number of unverified deaths surpassed 12,000. In their words, "12,162 martyrs do not have complete data."
The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics offers a breakdown of all the people supposedly killed: 14,350 children, 9,220 women, and 1,049 elderly.
Thanks to the miracle of subtraction, we can calculate how many of the "martyrs with incomplete data" are women, children and the elderly.
Women: 4,708
Children: 7,354
Men: 1,057
Elderly: -555 (Yes, negative)
(The numbers aren't perfect because some of the the PCBS data is undated.)
This means that of the 12,000 "incomplete data" martyrs, 96% are women and children, 8% are men, and -4% are seniors.
It still adds up to 100%, right?
This isn't only Hamas lying. This is the Palestinian Authority's official statistics body, one that claims to adhere to "professional ethics" and is praised by European statistics experts as being accurate and well respected.
