A piece in yesterday's New York Times suggests that the current body count in Gaza, which relies on the Hamas-led Ministry of Health, is likely a substantial undercount.

I know the scientists quoted in the article and have carefully reviewed their work on casualty counts in other conflict zones.


I first met them years ago when organizing a conference for the Canadian Foreign Ministry on health research methods and conflict analysis.


They are serious, credible researchers. This piece is deeply concerning.
