You're right of course, but I don't see how that makes any of this better. If anything, it seems you're saying we should expect the casualties to be even higher because a city is being bombed.

Yes we should. It's a testament to who evacuated the place is that the casualty rates are only this bad.

Had there not been a mass evacuation, the numbers would likely be an order of magnitude higher, at least. The Gaza strip is one of the most densely-populated places on earth

We should. It has been higher in the taking of every city in the middle east in the last 20 years that wasn't a NATO country.

Those qualifiers got me 🤣

NATO is not much better per day of conflict, they are simply quicker and intelligence better. Make no mistake, they would do the same.
