It could be that way, but the historical numbers are from the PCBS they could be wrong systemically; but I don't know of a better source.
It still smells like a massive undercount. If you gave me that number for a Western country it would be ridiculous too. It's just not a realistic number.
It seems more like if the number had agreed with your assertion instead of refuted it you'd have accepted the source as generally accurate.
I can't offer you any proof because this is the Internet but I just really don't like bad data. It gets used for rhetoric all the time and it's exhausting to track down. In this case though, for reference, a normal deaths per 100k in a well supplied, peaceful, western country, is 800 to 900. To put forward these numbers in a poorly supplied middle eastern warzone is ridiculous.
Okay, but you're using no data for bad rhetoric.
There's plenty of corroboration for the treatment I speak of in news articles.
I'd certainly love to see a summary of it.
Do you have a better source, or an explanation for why this agency would lie?
Nope. Sometimes we just don't have good data.
