Whether or not you accept the Lancet article's figure, it's an important reminder that the Palestinian Authority are *conservative* in their casualty counts, despite the fact that opponents and mainstream media are constantly trying to discredit them (the BBC always adds the scare phrase "according to Hamas", but never "according to Likud").
International aid agencies, including the U.N., have found the official Palestinian numbers highly reliable after extensive cross-checking.
