"Gaza's Humanitarian Crisis: Projected Excess Deaths and Health Justice Issues"

Researchers from Johns Hopkins University and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine have projected that an additional 6,550 to 11,580 lives could be lost in Gaza over the next six months, on top of the 29,000 deaths documented by the Gaza Ministry of Health. The projections, based on three conflict scenarios, indicate that even with a ceasefire, the humanitarian crisis could claim thousands of lives due to factors like restricted access to medical care and sanitation. The researchers caution that these are projections, not predictions, but emphasize the urgent need for humanitarian action to address the ongoing crisis.
