Conservative estimates say nearly 44,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel's war on Gaza and two million have been under constant Israeli aggression as they fight what UN experts have called "'deliberate starvation".

This is wrong. 44k (or whatever the official # is) is not a "Conservative estimate". It's not an estimate at all. That's just a count of the people whose bodies have been collected and tallied by the Gaza health ministry. "Conservative estimates" are still over 100k.

It goes to show how complete the propaganda has been, that a pro-Palestine publication would (unintentionally) use deceptive/inaccurate phrasing like that.
