Israel’s two-year assault on Gaza has left a catastrophic death toll that is even worse than most official estimates, according to European researchers. A study released on Tuesday estimates that “the current violent death toll” in Gaza is between 99,997 and 125,915.

The new research also found that Israel’s war led to a precipitous plunge in life expectancy in the Gaza Strip.
