The Palestinian Government Media Office published an update on the most
important statistics. The Israeli occupation forces (with US tax money and
munitions) did this:

– Dropped 88,000 tons of explosives on the Gaza Strip (more than dropped on
Vietnam, and four times the explosive power of a Hiroshima-size nuclear
bomb in an area of a mere 360 sq km or 250 square mile)

– Committed 9,973 massacres (killing many people at one time by bombing or
shelling; 70% women and children)

– 56,714 killed and missing persons: 45,514 reached hospitals (Ministry of
Health recorded), 11,200 missing persons did not reach hospitals (under
rubble or bodies missing).

Those killed and documented include:
*1,413 Palestinian whole families gone (no surviving members) while 3,467
Palestinian families had only one surviving family member, and the number
of members of these families is 7,941 killed.
