The footnote says these statistics come fromthe Gza Media Office - meaning, Hamas.
And here's a detail from a graphic from the Gaza health ministry Telegram channel today:
For months, we have been told that 70% of the dead were women and children. But when they actually count them, it is only a little over 50% - and male adults of military age, who are less that 25% of Gaza's population, is the largest category of those killed.
Even if the total number of correct, and every single one of the missing 10,000 are women and children, it is impossible to reach 70% women and children fatalities.
Why is UN Women taking inflated statistics from Hamas instead of from the health ministry, which issues detailed reports every couple of days?
The key word is "inflated."
UN Women want to grab the highest number they can, and if Hamas is the one behind those numbers, they just call it the "Gaza Media Office" which sounds like a real organization and not some masked guy with a Telegram channel.
When they exaggerate by 100%, though, perhaps the UN is not the most honest broker.
