Resumen de La ley de Benford valida la mortalidad en la Franja de Gaza
José Moreno Montoya, Alvaro Javier Idrovo
Recently, a letter to The Lancet´s editor written by Benjamin Q Huynh and colleagues reported that figures of mortality in Gaza between October 7 to November 10, 2023, were not inflated1. To support this affirmation, they analysed the daily trends of Gaza Ministry of Health’s mortality along with data of reported staff member deaths from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East. They found no evidence of abnormal increases. This contrasts with what has been pointed out by various voices from Israel, who indicate that the data is false, even going so far as to say that the images published by the media and social networks are made by actors, which constitutes a “Pallywood” (disparaging combination of “Palestine” and “Hollywood”).
