Many more people have been killed in the war in Gaza than we thought, a new Lancet study has found.

The study, published on Friday night, claims the official death toll in the war in Gaza is greatly underestimated.

According to the study, more than 64,000 people were killed up to June last year, after about nine months of war.

Official figures for the same period from the Palestinian authorities were closer to 38,000 killed.

According to the Lancet researchers, this is an underreporting of 41 percent.
