This is the best summary I could come up with:
The United Nations seemingly halved the estimated number of women and children killed in Gaza, according to UN data published on May 6 and 8.
On May 6, the UN published data showing that 34,735 people had reportedly been killed in Gaza, including over 9,500 women and over 14,500 children.
On May 8, the UN published data showing 34,844 people had reportedly been killed, including 4,959 women and 7,797 children.
The new figures showed the number of identified deaths as of April 30, which total 24,686 people; the new data also specified that 10,006 men had been killed and 1,924 elderly.
This comes after months of accusations for leading statisticians that the numbers produced by the Gazan authorities cannot possibly be accurate.
Professor Abraham Wyner also told Tablet Magazine that the rate of deaths was very unnatural and climbed far too regularly.
