The meaning of "もの" in this sentence


> その地域では今も戦争で日に **何人もの人** が死んでいる。

I encountered the above sentence. But, if it were me, I would write something
like this:

> その地域では今も 戦争で(日々or日)に **何人も** 死んでいる。

Is there any difference between the two in terms of meaning? Moreover, is
there any other example containing "何XものX" (X could be 人 or other words)?

Thanks for your reply in advance.




何人もの人 means simply many people. It could be tens, hundreds, thousands, or even
more. 何人も could probably mean several people, 10 at most. If you would like to
describe things rather than people, "いくつもの" (many) and "いくつも" (several) are
for you.
