Summary

Story summary

Analyses contend that claims of Israeli genocide and mass starvation in Gaza are unfounded.
Aizenberg's research estimates civilian deaths at about 33,000 and combatant deaths at about 25,000.
UNICEF data show that allegations of mass starvation are exaggerated because food aid has supported the population for more than 1,300 days.
The conclusion notes that ending the conflict will enable clearer statistics and debunk prior humanitarian-crisis claims.
