Uh... No. They still use GHM numbers. The UN revised numbers are fully identified deaths, meaning people with a first and last name next to their entry in the GHM's database. This is opposed to non-fully identified deaths, where it's known that X number of people died (for example an Israeli bombed blew X people to smithereens and they're unidentifiable or there's nobody left to identify them because the whole family is dead). non-fully identified numbers are the same.
Source? Where are you getting this info? Btw, Israel just released video showing Hamas working out of UN buildings and drivng UN cars so I don't know if I would believe much of what they say. https://www.foxnews.com/world/idf-claims-photos-show-hamas-combatants-un-compound-rafah
The UN came out to correct the misunderstanding:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/13/gaza-ministry-revises-figures-for-women-and-children-killed
Also setting aside how GHM numbers are and have always been accurate according to literally everyone (Hamas has a lot to lose and nothing to gain from faking them), Fox News? Seriously? If you're gonna make claims find a source worth reading.
It's drone footage, if you don't want to watch it, that's fine but that doesn't mean it's not true. I would've sent you a link for CNN or something but I don't think they want you to see it so I couldn't find where they reported on it
