they probably low balled it to make it look more realistic, without understanding what a realistic number actually would be.

a realistic number, applying america as a baseline, would be:

2*(0.009/100)*(.47*2142000) = 181.2132

if less than 200 gazan children have died of malnutrition over the last two years, it would suggest gazan children are at least as well fed as american ones, which, say what you will about american inequality, still couldn't be correct.

it must be at least 10x that.
