i know that on morning joe he equally said that the UN had found that the casualty report was less, but its actually misreporting [spin] primarily lead by Foundation for the Defence of Democracy & HonestReporting both are israeli advocate groups[which the mainstay press took the lead off], with FDD stated mission is "provide education to enhance Israel's image in North America and the public's understanding of issues affecting Israeli-Arab relations" & Honestreporting - A pro-Israel media watchdog, it describes its mission as "combat[ting] ideological prejudice in journalism and the media, as it impacts Israel"
Sadly as now the UN is clarifying in case of such spin, they are clarifying that they beleive the deathcount is accurate[and should be unchanged]its just they were reporting that 10,000 of the deaths are unclear of who is dead and unidentified clearly
"The UN said on Monday that the figures had earlier been based on a breakdown by the Hamas-run Information Ministry, with the updated number coming from a revised breakdown by Hamas' Health Ministry provided to the UN late last month. It says the number of total dead, around 35,000, remains the same.
OCHA's report for May 6, which uses figures from Hamas' Information Ministry, says that some 9,500 women and 14,500 children have been killed in the war. In its May 8 report, it cites the Health Ministry and says 4,959 women and 7,797 children have been killed. It added that there were still 10,000 deaths not included in the breakdown because there were insufficient details.
UN spokesperson Farhan Haq said on Monday that the Hamas-run Health Ministry's figures – cited regularly by the UN in its reporting – now reflected a breakdown of the 24,686 deaths of "people who have been fully identified."
"There's about another 10,000 plus bodies who still have to be fully identified, and so then the details of those – which of those are children, which of those are women – that will be re-established once the full identification process is complete," Haq told reporters in New York."
