Hundreds of new shelters set up near Khan Younis as Palestinians flee fighting in Rafah
Archived version: archive.ph/JYZeK
I noticed they’re still using the numbers that Hamas puts out on the number of Palestinians killed. Even the UN has revised their numbers now.
UN is unable to independently verify, since IDF keeps killing their staff. So they had to change how they verify deaths, which reclassified the people killed, not the total number of people killed. It’s a moot point anyway, since Palestinian figures are known to be highly credible. They have plenty of reasons to be diligent about it, and zero reasons to invent stuff.
Historically, the UN and other agencies have found that overall figures produced by the Gaza ministry of health have been largely reliable. Among those agencies is the World Health Organization, which says the ministry has “good capacity in data collection” and its previous reporting has been credible and “well developed”.
Here’s your trustworthy UN

and btw, the UN minisrty of health is getting their numbers from Hamas, so I guess if you trust Hamas, it is what it is
Uh... No. They still use GHM numbers. The UN revised numbers are fully identified deaths, meaning people with a first and last name next to their entry in the GHM's database. This is opposed to non-fully identified deaths, where it's known that X number of people died (for example an Israeli bombed blew X people to smithereens and they're unidentifiable or there's nobody left to identify them because the whole family is dead). non-fully identified numbers are the same.
Source? Where are you getting this info? Btw, Israel just released video showing Hamas working out of UN buildings and drivng UN cars so I don’t know if I would believe much of what they say. foxnews.com/…/idf-claims-photos-show-hamas-combat…
