Discrepancies in the death toll

I noticed two different numbers being used as the death count near the beginning of the article. It is listed as 1,772 in the opening paragraph but listed as 10,275 in the deaths section of the right side caption at the top. This is explained in the death toll section of the article, where it is stated that the official statistics in 1980 listed the death toll as 1,772 whereas the official statistics in 1985 listed it as 10,275. Despite this, I feel that the toll given at the top should be normalized. This could be done by either picking only one of the death tolls to use towards the top of the article, or just giving an estimate because of how large the gap is between the numbers. That's all from me, cheers. 2603:8080:1FF0:6B60:B4A5:21C3:5E12:17C5 (talk) 03:06, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
