Why it matters:
Official death tolls only account for those who reach medical facilities. UNRWA data suggests many victims die quietly in refugee camps and makeshift shelters, their deaths unrecorded and their suffering unseen.
The big picture:
As the humanitarian crisis in Gaza deepens, aid agencies warn that the true scale of devastation is being underreported. With limited access to healthcare, food, and shelter, vulnerable populations are succumbing to war-related conditions without formal documentation, raising concerns about transparency and accountability.
What he's saying:
Abu Hasna stated:
“The figures from the Ministry of Health only reflect those transferred to medical centers. Our data shows many sick and starving individuals are dying silently.” He added: “These people are buried around tents, inside shelters, and in refugee centers without official notice. The real number of martyrs from this war is far greater than what is being announced.
