SEYMOUR HERSH: ‘The death toll in Gaza is much higher than we're being told’

“In days of telephone and email exchanges with public health and statistical experts in America I found a general belief that the civilian death toll in Gaza … had to be significantly higher than reported …

“Save the Children … [estimates] that as many as 21,000 children in Gaza are ‘trapped beneath rubble, detained, buried in unmarked graves, or lost from their families’.

“Other children, the agency said, ‘have been forcibly disappeared …’ … ‘amidst reports of ill-treatment and torture’ …

“[According to] Devi Sridhar, the chair of global public health at the University of Edinburgh … as many as 160 children [in Gaza are] being killed daily …

“… [In February,] Al Jazeera ran an interview with a 64-year-old Gazan undertaker named Saadi Hassan Sulieman Baraka …

“‘I've buried about ten times more people during this war than I did across my entire 27 years as an undertaker,’ he said.

“‘… Since October 7, I've buried more than 17,000 people’ …

“He especially remembered the day he buried … 800 dead.

“‘We collected them in pieces; their bodies so riddled with holes it was like Israeli snipers used them for target practice.

“‘Others were crushed like … like a boiled potato, and many had huge facial burns …’”
