The tenth day of the assault brings the number of Palestinian casualties to 530 with over 2,600 others wounded. The UN says that about 25 percent of the casualties were civilian deaths.

Since the definition of casualties include both the dead and wounded, the UN is saying that:

civilian deaths = 0.25 x (dead + wounded)

= 0.25 x (530 + 2600)

= 783.

So of the 530 Palis killed in this attack, 783 of them were civilians.

I love UN math.
