I think the data here is rather interesting. It paints a very different picture to the one activists paint us. First the idea that massive amounts of bodies would be uncovered seems to not be born out. There has not been a significant increase in the number of fatalities since the end of the ceasefire, which means that the supposed 100,000s of bodies under the rubble are not there.

Second, the adult men still make up a disproportionate amount of the dead, they compromise around 25% of the population yet make up just under 50% of the deaths. If we remove 20,000 from the number of adult males fatalities (the amount of combatants the IDF claim to have killed), the number of adult male fatalities drops to around 26% which is still slightly higher than we'd expect but is more easy to account for (through men being more likely to take risks to protect their families).

Thirdly, the number of requests for Humanitarian access has dropped to fewer than 100 for April, with the majority of them being accepted without issue and nearly 75% being accepted after impediment. Fewer than 10% are rejected by Israel, with the biggest issue now being humanitarian orgs withdrawing their requests. Interestingly the total number of requests now is just over half of the number of requests approved by Israel in October.
