💨 Abstract

An erroneous online post claims that a Harvard study found nearly 400,000 Palestinians in Gaza are missing due to the Israel-Hamas war. However, this claim is false. The data actually comes from a report by an Israeli university researcher, hosted on Harvard's data repository. The report's map, which was misinterpreted, shows aid distribution areas in Gaza, not missing persons. The actual number of missing individuals is significantly lower, according to reliable studies.
