C_T_Russell, beware, right wing media are full of inaccuracies and general crap reporting.
Its understandable that number will go down if they are confirmed dead.
So whats the death toll currently at? That way it can be confirmed for sure.
Was 11 last time I heard. Im hearing this stuff from friends, not any "right wing" media.
I hope my friends are wrong.
