The authors of their correspondence claim to have based it on peer-reviewed publications and reports from international organizations such as the WHO and the UN. They respond to criticism from Bénédicte Nobile and Philippe Courtet, which they characterize as a case of genocide denial and selective moral disengagement. The authors acknowledge that more robust data are needed to confirm UNICEF's claim that Gaza has the highest number of child amputees per capita in the world. They stress the need for further research to verify whether the number of child casualties in Gaza from October 2023 exceeds that of all other war zones. The authors insist that their claims are based on scientific publications and reports from recognized international institutions. Their response points to a gap between their evidence-based approach and criticism, which they see as insufficiently documented.
