Harvard-linked study finds Israel "disappeared" ~400k Palestinians in Gaza, half of them children 📂 Archived Message Posted by sashimi on June 25, 2025, 8:58 am The Cradle | 24 Jun 2025 Lede: The study by a Ben Gurion University professor uses data-driven analysis and spatial mapping to highlight a severe decline in Gaza's population since October 2023 A study published via the Harvard Dataverse reveals that Israel has "disappeared" at least 377,000 Palestinians since the start of its genocidal campaign against the Gaza Strip in 2023. Half of this number is believed to be Palestinian children. The report was written by Israeli professor Yaakov Garb, who used data-driven analysis and spatial mapping to show how the Israeli army's siege of Gaza and indiscriminate attacks on civilians in the enclave have led to a serious drop in its population. The 377,000 Palestinians who are unaccounted for due to Israel's genocide are approximately 17 percent of the Gaza Strip's entire population, which now stands at about 1.85 million. Prior to the war in Gaza, the strip's population was estimated at 2.227 million. While some are displaced or missing, a significant number are believed to have been killed by Israeli forces, according to the report. The professor notes that the official death toll of 61,000 is clearly an underestimate, as victims who remain trapped under rubble are not included. Garb also condemned in the report the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) - a controversial US-Israeli aid distribution mechanism launched last month. "These aid compounds seem to reflect a logic of control, not assistance, and it would be a misnomer to call them 'humanitarian aid distribution hubs'. They do not adhere to humanitarian principles, and much of their design and operation is guided by other objectives, which undermine their declared purpose," he said. -- Cont'd at https://thecradle.co/articles/harvard-linked-study-finds-israel-disappeared-nearly-400000-palestinians-in-gaza-half-of-them-children-report Message Thread: Harvard-linked study finds Israel "disappeared" ~400k Palestinians in Gaza, half of them children - sashimi June 25, 2025, 8:58 am The Cradle: Thousands of Israelis "flood" into Sinai desert raising alert level in Egypt - sashimi June 25, 2025, 9:02 am True: The Samsonite Option hehe: I hope they can swim .. nm - t June 25, 2025, 3:54 pm It's amazing that nobody is reporting The Lancet estimate of up to 0.6 million - t June 25, 2025, 3:50 pm They can't even be bothered to report the now every-day "aid massacres". - RaskolnikovX June 25, 2025, 4:28 pm Re: They can't even be bothered to report the now every-day "aid massacres". - t June 25, 2025, 11:45 pm « Index   Searching
