Original Note:
Non peer-reviewed opinion letter to Lancet says *could be* 186,000 *indirect, future* deaths – not "killed by" Israel. Author adds: letter "greatly misquoted & misinterpreted" & "figure we give is purely illustrative." Lancet adds: indirect deaths may not have yet occurred. https://www.jewishnews.co.uk/the-lancet-stands-by-letter-speculating-180000-deaths-in-gaza/
