Original Note:
This figure is taken from a letter in The Lancet which one of the authors has explained has been 'greatly misquoted & misinterpreted'. When specifically asked if this is number of people had died he replied 'No'. But the figure is still used today to spread misinformation: https://honestreporting.com/186000-dead-in-gaza-the-lancet-publishes-most-outrageous-claims-about-the-israel-hamas-war-yet/ https://x.com/MarkZlochin/status/1810440008764899413
