it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186 000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza. Using the 2022 Gaza Strip population estimate of 2 375 259, this would translate to 7·9% of the total population in the Gaza Strip

The figures published by the "kHkHkHaMas controlled" Ministry of Health are conservative, in that they only included verifiable, confirmed deaths. We know there are 10s of thousands more of those who are/were unidentified, unreported, completely disintegrated, trapped under rubble and what have you. The dispute is in the estimates, and it's frightening what some reputable sources believe it to be.

That's one of the higher figures I've seen.
