Revisiting Gaza Mortality Estimates: Adjusted for Non-Sampling Zero-Survivor Households
Abstract
Ron Roberts* and Joel Vos
Current Gaza mortality estimates systematically undercount deaths by failing to account for zero-survivor households. We argue that adjusting for this factor and multi-family cohabitation yields significantly higher figures than previously reported. If we assume 3% zero-survivor households with 75% multi-family cohabitation, mortality estimates increase to 152,395-179,555 direct and indirect deaths (6.92-8.16% of the pre-war population).
