A peer-reviewed analysis published in The Lancet on Thursday found that the official Gaza death toll reported by the enclave's Ministry of Health between October 7, 2023 and June 30, 2024 was likely a 41% undercount, a finding that underscores the devastation wrought by Israel's assault on the Palestinian territory and the difficulties of collecting accurate data amid relentless bombing.
During the period examined by the new study, Gaza's health ministry (MoH) reported that 37,877 people had been killed in Israeli attacks. But the Lancet analysis estimates that the death toll during that period was 64,260, with women, children, and the elderly accounting for nearly 60% of the deaths for which details were available.
That count only includes "deaths due to traumatic injury," leaving out deaths from starvation, cold, and disease.

Bitcoin's current official market cap value is around 1.8 trillion, so 6.5 billion of it represents about 0.3% of market capitalization. Factor in also that news like this that's already public would influence the price downward in advance of the sale.
It could be enough to suppress the value by a few percentage points over the course of a few weeks but that would probably not be noticed very much given it's already known and accepted volatility.
