When asked about the number of casualties in Gaza and whether the numbers announced by the Hamas Health Ministry are reliable, Lazzarini replied that their own analysis based on the number of their personnel killed concludes that “we have more or less the same percentage”.
He explains that in the past the evidence coming from the Gaza Strip was considered reliable and “no one ever really challenged those numbers.”
In particular, as broadcast by the BBC, Lazzarini explained that a correlation was made by the UNwhich compared the number of personnel they have in Gaza and the number of personnel killed within the population, as well as the total population.
Their analysis concluded, he adds, that “we have more or less the same percentage.”
