“The U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) told NBC News it had changed its regular updates on the death toll in Gaza to reflect breakdown by gender and age of the number of people who have been identified among those killed, rather than provide a breakdown of the total number of people killed. As a result, the number of women and children listed on the site appeared lower than previously reported, because OCHA was listing only the breakdown of those who have been identified, while still noting the larger overall death toll above it.” https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna151934
They never cared. It's all Hasbara. ONE child dead is one too many
Absolutely. Still waiting for any news on Kfir Bibas, the 9 month old baby that Hamas kidnapped into Gaza. I assume you mean him?
I mean all children so that does include him. Idk why you don't get it
This is false. The UN was DISCREDITED by this news, continuing to view them as an authority is stupid. They got caught lying. What makes you think they are now telling the truth? And actually we know the root cause. It was revealed recently that Hamas based 11,000 casualties on "media reports". There are no bodies being identified - there haven't the been bodies found. They may not exist at all. So the lying UN moved these from the "women and children" column to a new column saying they were being "identified". But that's DECEPTION - they are not identifying bodies they are trying to identify WHETHER THEY EXISTED AT ALL. AND .. EVEN if you still believe the lying UN's ludicrous number this update STILL exonerated the IDF because it removed all these numbers from women and children and the ratio of fighters to civilians killed skyrocketed. That means that even if you still believe the lying UN's latest lie this is now a conflict with one of the lowest ever rates of civilian casualties.
Wait, wait, the UN discredited itself by changing the way it aggregates stats? That’s a fresh new, totally bat shit insane, take. Also, it’s fun to make up stories when you’re mad, is t it? Again, word vomit without anything to back it up. While I’m here, I thought you’d like a response I gave to someone else. —— From where I’m sitting israel and zionists don’t give a fuck about the captives held by Hamas. Did you know that by the end of the ceasefire Hamas released 105 captives? How many captives has the IDF freed? 3. And they’ve killed three, so they’ve netted zero. For all you pious assholes out there who say the slaughter of innocent people is justified to free the hostages, let those stats sink in. It seem pretty fucking clear you care more about killing Palestinians than freeing hostages. https://web.archive.org/web/20240129021934/https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/01/world/middleeast/palestinian-prisoners-released-gaza.html
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilad_Shalit_prisoner_exchange Israel freed 1027 terrorists or "captives" as you call them, and they proceeded to participate in 10/7. Israel is not playing these games anymore.
So, just carpet bomb the place. I see, at least you’re letting that mask come off. Also, any time you say something about Hamas feeling the captives again I’ll remind you, and whoever you’re talking to, that you don’t give a fuck about the captives, you just wanna kill all Palestinians.
Nobody is carpet bombing Can you build yourself to criticize Hamas for using Palestinians as human shields? It's a war crime against Palestinians
Very sad situation 😢
The number of civilians killed got reduced to matter how you look at it
Once you start scamming it’s hard to stop
The UN has been insanely pro Hamas and this is as damning as when it turned out that 10% of UNRWA were Hamas. In this case the UN has been caught using a number that they parroted from Hamas without even the most basic fact checking or even critical thought. In particular they were representing the number of women and children killed as a fact, reporting on a very specific number killed as if it were based on reality. This fake number was then used extensively in anti Israeli propaganda, in all forms, trying to portray Israel as targeting children and accusing Israel of genocide. Then the Hamas number was exposed as a lie, Hamas was forced to admit it was based on "media reports", but the only "media reports" coming out of Gaza are Hamas propaganda since there's no independent media there. So it's all just made up. The UN was then forced to retract the fake claim they made but deceptively instead of just saying they don't have data that shifted the false numbers to "being identified". Bur what are they identifying? There are no bodies being identified. They are at best trying to identify whether any of the propaganda is real. It's a huge joke and it absolutely destroys the credibility of the UN.
Seriously man, if you’re going to make claims, back them up. I don’t think you quite understand that your word isn’t some unimpeachable gospel.
https://www.fdd.org/analysis/2024/04/09/hamas-run-gaza-health-ministry-admits-to-flaws-in-casualty-data/ That has a link directly to the Hamas statement, you will need to paste it to a translator if you don't read Arabic
It has changed though in the most meaningful way. Most deaths are militants and terrorists, not "women and children". Are you expecting us to be sad for the Hamas murderers and rapists? What next? You're going to cry over the death of Hitler?
Hamas should surrender ASAP to prevent additional destruction and collateral damage.
So it’s naked collective punishment then. Just keep stacking up those war crimes!
It's the reality of situation, Hamas is fighting an urban war. Urban wars lead to mass casualties and destruction of urban areas.
