U.N. Cuts Gaza Death Toll Figures by Half, Confirming Hamas Is Lying About Casualties

"At the U.N. At the White House and State Department. In all the newsrooms that have run the updated numbers from Gaza each day," Adesnik said. "The U.N. is acting surprised, suggesting it used bad numbers because it’s hard to find the truth amid the fog of war. But the flaws in the data have been evident for months. It’s just no one bothered to press Hamas-controlled sources to verify their claims."

The statistics, he said, have been used by the Biden administration for months to increase pressure on Israel, citing them "as a principal justification" for their "accusations against and pressure on the Israelis. Now that those flaws are out in the open, the administration needs to repair ties with Jerusalem and focus on eliminating Hamas."

"In early April, the Gaza Ministry of Health admitted it had ‘incomplete data’ to document more than 10,000 of the deaths it had previously reported," FDD stated in an analysis. "Subsequently, the ministry indicated that it did not have names for more than 10,000 of the individuals it claimed to be deceased. As of April 1, the ministry also stopped repeating the claim it made since the first weeks of the war that 70 percent of the dead were women and children, even suggesting the media invented this number."

A late March report by the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, another think tank, concluded that "Gaza fatality data has become completely unreliable."
