    The life expectancy in Gaza is over 70 years, according to WHO data. Go spread misinformation elsewhere.

      the WHO can’t collect data in Gaza, nor does is report on Gaza, but only the “Palestinian occupied territories” meaning you are getting the life expectancy of the more wealthy parts of the west bank

      but no, please don’t just quote some figures you see anywhere read the document and its conclusions about the region even before this latest conflict phase started

        Bruh, you are really going to stand behind the assertion that most folks in Gaza don’t live past 40? You are just rediculously, stupidly wrong. There are NUMEROUS well-regarded sources of information that say otherwise. I only went with WHO because it was the first of MANY MANY NGOs that establish you are incorrect. “In 2022, the life expectancy in the occupied Palestinian territory was 75.4 years for females and 73.2 for males, and was slightly higher in the West Bank (75.7 years for females; 73.5 years for males) than in the Gaza Strip (75.0 years for females; 72.5 years for males).” Page 2. WHO - the very source you provided, in fact, coincidentally
