"Israel-Gaza Conflict: Examining the Devastating Death Toll in Gaza"

The death toll in Gaza since the start of the conflict between Israel and Hamas has reached at least 20,000, with an average of nearly 300 people killed each day. The high death toll is attributed to the indiscriminate use of bombs by Israel, including unguided ones, in a densely populated area. Women and children make up about 70% of the casualties, and Gaza's young population is particularly affected. Comparisons with other conflicts show that the rate of killing in Gaza is significantly higher. The number of Hamas fighters killed remains unclear, but experts estimate that a large majority of those killed are civilians.
