32 Palestinians shot dead trying to reach US group's food distribution sites, Gaza authorities say

38. But the ratio of meals to kills is useless in making the point you are trying to make

given that it doesn't account for people having more than one meal. You use this "absurd" ratio to get the figure of 1 out of 10,000 so you can claim how "absurdly" low it is when I tried to show how low it really is changes substantially if you use a different denominator, like total number of unique individuals that got one or more meals. In my view this using the meals to kills ratio like you do is a misuse of statistical methods, which I find at least ironic given how you claim posters here are defying "elementary mathematics".

You are right that the article does say this: "While GHF says it has distributed millions of meals to hungry Palestinians, local health officials and witnesses say Israeli army fire has killed hundreds of people as they try to reach the hubs". I never took issue with the article saying that. Only what you did with these numbers from the AP, which I gather is a source you are skeptical about given your unwillingness to give what you see as a trustworthy source of info re Gaza. Perhaps for you, there aren't any.
