More than 15000 died that day. 2607:FEA8:621:3F00:2D54:1ED7:1DC3:558F (talk) 02:22, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The article contains the following:

Lead: "Others estimate that 8,000 died within two weeks, and another 8,000 or more have since died from gas-related diseases.^[6]"
Infobox: "over 16,000 claimed^[2]"
Long-term effects: "The Sambhavna clinic "estimates 8,000 deaths during the first weeks, and another 8,000 since then".^[2][6]"

It looks as though what you want doing has already been done, with citations provided for the statements.-- Toddy1 (talk) 11:18, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
