About one out of every 100 people in Gaza has been killed since the war between Israel and Hamas erupted on October 7, Palestinian statistics show.
At least 22,835 people have been killed, the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Ramallah announced in its daily update on Monday. That’s 1% of Gaza’s total population of 2.27 million people, according to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics.
Remember Covid-19? That ended up killing less than 0.1% of people. Ukraine war has so far cost 70K soldiers their lives and 10K civilian deaths. 0.18% in nearly two years of fighting.
The Ministry generates its data from hospitals in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip. It said 58,416 people had been injured. That is more than 2.6% of the population, or more than one in 40 people.
The Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health in Gaza, which tends to have slightly higher numbers than the ministry in Ramallah due to delays in transmitting information to the West Bank, put the total at 23,084 dead on Monday. It said 58,926 people had been injured.
Israel has said more than 8,000 of the dead are militants it is targeting in its war on Hamas. The Ministry of Health in Ramallah says more than 5,300 of the dead are women and more than 9,000 of them are children. Together that would make up nearly two-thirds of the dead.
23,000 dead, 8,700 men, Israel considers pretty much all men as militants? Fits the way they target people...
Euro-med monitor estimates it at over 30,000 deaths (including the missing presumed dead under the rubble)

According to Euro-Med Monitor estimates, 30,676 Palestinians have been killed during the Israeli attacks as of Thursday evening, including 28,201 civilians. The death toll includes 12,040 children, 6,103 women, 241 health workers, and 105 journalists. An additional 58,960 individuals have been injured, hundreds of whom are currently in serious condition.
The Euro-Med Monitor team further reported that about 1.9 million Palestinians have been displaced from their homes and residential areas in the Gaza Strip amid a lack of safe shelters, as 67,946 housing units have been completely destroyed and 179,750 housing units have been partially damaged. According to the team, the facilities targeted by Israel during its ongoing attacks include 318 schools; 1,612 industrial facilities; 169 health facilities, including 23 hospitals, 57 clinics, and 89 ambulances; 201 mosques; three churches; and 169 press offices.
