U.N. lowers count of women and children killed, citing incomplete information — nytimes — 14 May 2024 (LINK)

— The change came because the United Nations switched to citing a more conservative source for its numbers — the Gazan Ministry of Health — rather than using Gaza's Government Media Office, as it had in recent weeks. Both offices are part of the Hamas-run government in the enclave.

— The health ministry says its count of women and children killed is based on the total number of people whose identities it can fully verify — 24,840 individuals in all as of May 13. More than 10,000 other people have also been killed, the health ministry says, but it does not have their full names, official ID numbers or other information it needs to be certain of their identities. That is why they are not included in the breakdown of women and children killed that is now being cited by the U.N., officials said.
