However, throughout the process, where a date of birth has been missing, that death has been recorded and therefore reported as a child.[337]
Compare with Professor Mike Spagat describing the April 2024 list: 1,206 entries have missing ages [so their dates of birth must also be unknown] yet accompanying pdfs nevertheless classify these victims as children, men, women or elderly.[339] This means it is impossible that all entries with missing date of birth were recorded as children.
