The most recent estimate outside of the US state department is well over 300k. That is taking into account the Lancet's estimate of 186k by military violence earlier this July and estimating further indirect deaths due to disease and starvation based on previous conflicts of total war against civilians.

Gaza has likely already lost 20% of its population.
