"Medical Crisis in War-Torn Gaza: A Looming Catastrophe"
TL;DR Summary
Epidemiologists have estimated that an escalation of the war in Gaza could result in the deaths of 85,000 Palestinians from injuries and disease over the next six months, with even the most optimistic scenario predicting an additional 6,500 deaths. These figures represent "excess deaths" above what would have been expected in the absence of war, and highlight the dire humanitarian crisis in the region.
