Number of Palestinians Killed by Israel since October 7 is 14,532, 6k kids

Nov 24, 2023 ·

Since October 7, 2020, the violence in Gaza between Israel and Palestine has escalated dramatically. The death toll resulting from this violence has now risen to 14,532 Palestinians killed by Israel, including over 4,000 women and children.

The number of wounded is just as staggering, with more than 101,000 Palestinians suffering from injuries due to the violence.

In addition to the human cost, the conflict has also caused extensive damage to buildings, infrastructure, and other property, with estimates of destruction costing - at least - $2.4 billion.

The majority of the casualties have taken place in Gaza, where constant bombardment from the Israeli military has caused extensive devastation. The UN Human Rights Council held an emergency meeting in October 2020 to address the situation in the Gaza strip, where nearly one million people are living without electricity or running water.

The violence has forced hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to flee their homes, and has caused deep psychological trauma for those that remain.

The situation in Gaza is a humanitarian crisis, and calls for immediate international action to de-escalate the hostilities, protect civilians, and stop further loss of life. The UN Security Council should take action to ensure the protection of civilians in Gaza and to provide aid to those affected by the violence.

Finally, a lasting solution must be found to bring peace and stability to the region. Both Israel and Palestine must put aside their differences and commit to finding a peaceful solution. A negotiated peace deal that guarantees the security of both sides is the only way forward.
