What does this historical population trend have to do with the genocide being perpetrated by Israel in Gaza in retaliation for October 7th, 2023?

>Even the most pessimistic estimates of civilian casualties are on the order of tens of thousands.

blatant lie, as has been pointed out to you multiple times now

The figure comes from the Palestinian Health Ministry: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/gaza-death-toll-ho...

What incentive would the Palestinian government have to deceive people into thinking there's fewer casualties than the real figure?

From the very article you quote:

> IS THE GAZA DEATH TOLL COMPREHENSIVE?

> The numbers do not necessarily reflect all victims, as many are still under rubble, the Palestinian Health Ministry says. It estimates some 10,000 bodies were uncounted in this way.

> The Humanitarian Research Lab at the Yale School of Public Health has said that the true figures are likely higher than those published, without giving specifics.

> The U.N. human rights office also says the Palestinian authorities' figure is probably an undercount. In past Israel-Hamas conflicts, its own tally has sometimes exceeded theirs.

> It declined to share its toll for this war since it is incomplete but confirmed to Reuters that the deaths it has verified so far show that the majority are women and children.
