That place is leveled and aid is being used as bait to shoot kids, no medical is available, humanitarians are banned, journalists are banned and the people left are being starved. There were 2million people before October 2023 I’d say at least 1 million are dead
That's precisely the issue, France likewise still disputes the number of deaths from it's occupation of Vietnam and Algeria, recent figures estimate 1.4 million for vietnam, and 8 million dead for algeria. We'll probably know the figure in more than a decade for Palestine, if there are any palestinians left by then.
The only research document I know of that touches on it is this paper published in the The Lancet in 2024, it's peer reviewed and estimates 186 000, but that was 2 years ago:
