Those adjustments suggest that Gaza\u2019s Hamas-controlled Health Ministry has grossly inflated the number of women and children who have been killed.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">BREAKING: UN halves estimate of women and children killed in Gaza. As quoted in the article, let me explain how the UN&#8217;s method for casualty counting in Gaza is the complete opposite of how they act in other conflict situations such as Ukraine. \ud83e\uddf5<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/PdYTlyMbyl\">https:\/\/t.co\/PdYTlyMbyl<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Hillel Neuer (@HillelNeuer) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HillelNeuer\/status\/1789794227053887974?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 12, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According to the UN\u2019s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), on May 6, some 9,500 women and 14,500 children were reported to have been killed in Gaza since the October 7 Hamas terror attacks on Israel. Less than a week later, those numbers had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-admin-asks-supreme-court-to-cancel-asylum-border-wall-arguments\/\" title=\"Biden Admin Asks Supreme Court to Cancel Asylum, Border Wall Arguments\">dropped significantly<\/a> to 5,000 women and 8,000 children, the National Post <a href=\"https:\/\/nationalpost.com\/news\/world\/israel-middle-east\/united-nations-halves-estimate-of-women-and-children-killed-in-gaza\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>According to David Adesnik, director of research at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), that change could be the result of the UN adopting a different source of information. He noted that prior to May 6, the UN had cited the Hamas-controlled Government Media Office as a source for the casualty numbers \u2014 but more recently, they had not cited the GMO.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo you see May 6 and before, the GMO (is listed as a source); all of a sudden, May 8, they don\u2019t cite a source,\u201d Adesnik said, suggesting that the UN was relying on the Gaza Health Ministry instead \u2014 despite the fact that Hamas controls that as well. \u201cSo clearly here we\u2019ve done a switch from GMO\u2019s big number, which never had any clear basis elaborated; like they just offered nothing but their own assertion. Whereas the Health Ministry does more to back its stuff up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A number of critics pointed out that relying on any numbers influenced by Hamas terrorists was likely a mistake.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe UN has significantly adjusted Palestinian casualty figures for the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip, halving the number of women and children previously reported killed.
