The Lancet studies (at least the ones I know of) are excess death studies, not directly killed studies. (God this is morbid.) Far from an apples to apples comparison. Excess deaths in Gaza will likely be far higher than the ~2% so far directly killed, if there is ever information enough to model it.

The cost of war stat is a tally of directly killed, the closest comparable. (I hate every word of this.)
