More or Less: Behind the Stats - WS MoreOrLess: Deaths in Gaza

Download WS MoreOrLess: Deaths in Gaza

As the Gaza conflict continues, the fact that there are estimated to be nearly three times as many men as women among the Palestinian civilian casualties has been an issue in the spotlight. Tim Harford and Ruth Alexander look at why men are often over-represented in civilian death tolls, and how the statistics in this conflict are being gathered. This programme was first broadcast on the BBC World Service.
