The IDF Arabic spokesperson posted images of the civilians evacuating and announced an additional humanitarian corridor, supplementing the one recently established, which will be open for Gazans wishing to relocate southward until 2pm local time.

“Use this opportunity to go south to the other side of Wadi Gaza,” he said, referring to the body of water that delineates the southern and northern parts of the Palestinian territory. “Many are doing so at this time. If you care for yourselves and your loved ones, move south according to our instructions. You can be sure Hamas leaders have already taken care of their own needs.”

    It was per second. /s.

    It’s telling how no one even ask how they can simultaneously claim they are buried under the debris yet they have a fatality count. I have tried to look for stratified counts to see if there was a huge difference in fatalities between men and women. I am sure that those statistics would show what’s actually happening because they could be checked for accuracy and would tell you if they really targeted civilians. But it seems that the people against israel have made their minds and are not trying to understand what is happening.

      Take a look at this daily brief put out by OCHA (UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs). It’s dated 6 November 2023.

      Their “Data on Casualties” tracker is more detailed in its breakdown, but is slower to update (as noted on that page).

      Edit: So, of 5918 adult fatalities listed, 2550 (43%) were women. It’s not clear to me at first glance if the remaining 57% are men, or if there are some undetermined folks mixed in.

        Thanks. That is helpful. Where are you seeing those numbers in the page? When I looked at gaza fatalities in the site you shared it shows 5365 total and 586 are women so about 10%. Even if we are both looking at different sections I can’t reconcile 40% with 10%.

          It’s from OCHA’s daily brief.

          I did math on this part of the report: Screenshot:

          10,022 reported fatalities 2550 women 4104 children.

          Subtract the children, you get 5918 adult fatalities. (10,022 - 4104=5918)

          Edit: the “Data on Casualties” is, like I mentioned, slower to update. There’s a date filter–the fatalities listed are from earlier conflicts in the region, or in Israel or the West Bank.

            The numbers on the right side don’t add up.

            • Families with multiple fatalities = 1050
            • 444+136+192 = 772 families with 2 or more fatalities
            • 6120 out of 10022 fatalities were from 825 families

            Is there an official definition of “family”? I ask because I’m curious if they count multiple generations living in separate housing units in the same building a single family or if they only consider nuclear families (spouses + immediate children, maybe cohabiting parents or siblings?)

            EDIT: I tracked down the last report where the numbers were close to adding up - it seems they are tracking three things:

            1. the number of families with multiple fatalities (1050 on Nov 6)
            2. the number of fatalities from the chosen 825 families (no clue why those 825 families, or if it’s just the top 825 on the list), seemingly not updated for a few days now
            3. a very coarse bucketing of families by number of fatalities that hasn’t been updated since Oct 26.

      UN counts have largely been consistent with the Gaza Health Ministry’s in the past, with small discrepancies.

      The list is online. You are not looking for the answer.

      They believe what they want to believe. That’s why they demand the highest scrutiny for everything that Israel says but greedily eat up every number that Hamas puts out. The complete fantasy story about the “destroyed” hospital meant nothing to them.
