The UN’s measure of Israeli children killed in Gaza has been reduced by half, putting into question the numbers that are often used by global news organizations and governments to criticize Hamas ‘ occupation of Gaza.
The , Jerusalem Post reported on Saturday:
On May 6, the UN published information showing that 34, 735 persons had presumably been killed in Gaza, including over 9, 500 people and over 14, 500 kids.
On May 8, the UN published information showing 34, 844 persons had presumably been killed, including 4, 959 people and 7, 797 children.

Following decades of claims from prominent researchers that the statistics released by the Gazan government were insufficiently correct, this comes after months of this.
David Adesnik, the Senior Fellow and Director of Research at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, responded:  ,” This alter may indicate that the UN has suddenly recognized the lack of data behind Hamas’s initial claims that more than 14, 000 children and 9, 000 women have been killed in Gaza. If so, the UN does position without a doubt that it no longer trusts credible sources despite decades of affirmative action. It is a significant step forward, even though this change may merely reflect the conclusions of one UN office out of the many in Gaza.
The Jewish News Syndicate ( JNS ) asked UN officials about the change. The “fog of battle” was attributed to the UN:
JNS asked Farhan Haq, assistant spokesman for U. N. Secretary- General António Guterres, at a press conference on Friday why the algebra does n’t add up.
” The adjustments are taken … you know, of course, in the fog of war, it’s difficult to come up with quantities”, Haq told JNS. We” check the figures against the clock” after receiving them from various sources on the ground. As we cross test them, we release the numbers, and we’ll proceed to do that as that advances”.
On Monday, Israeli government official Avi Hyman said that Israel’s “genuine measure” of the number of deaths in Gaza was 14, 000 jihadists and 16, 000 residents.
Media outlets frequently cite figures from Gaza’s wellness ministry, which is run by Hamas, that show thousands more casualties and do not differentiate between civilian or terrorist deaths, or between Israeli rocket-propelled civilians and Jewish victims.
On Sunday, U. S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken , claimed , that “it was acceptable to examine that, in certain situations, Israel acted in ways that are not consistent with global philanthropic law”.
It is challenging to evaluate or arrive at convincing conclusions regarding specific incidents, according to a State Department statement that actually found the contrary.
The review only said that claims of violations of international law were “reasonable” because of the amount of U. S. made weapons that Israel uses — document. e. “given Israel’s considerable emphasis on U. S. made security articles”.
According to Hyman,” Israel respects international humanitarian law. Israel adheres to the rules of military issue. Certainly the people of Gaza, but Hamas is the subject of our conflict. When pursuing Hamas, we make every effort to prevent human deaths from occurring. He continued, saying that” the complaints to the relative have obviously not been proven” and that Israel will continue to fight Hamas in the name of morality.
