Inside the contested death toll: On May 6, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) at the United Nations reported that 34,735 Gazans have been killed in Israel's offensive since it began some 200-plus days ago. Those deaths include 9,500 women and 14,500 children.
On May 8, the same office substantially revised the accounting, reporting 4,959 "identified" women and 7,797 "identified" children. Per this report, some 10,000 are allegedly buried under rubble, unable to be identified.
