Ministry of Health in Gaza released a shocking 649-page document on 16
September, providing the name, age, gender, and ID number of tens of
thousands of people killed by Israel during 11 months of its genocide of
Palestinians.</p><p>In the chaos of war, the ministry has managed to
document the personal details of over 34,000 Palestinians killed by
Israeli forces, out of a total of at least 42,206 killed as of 31
August.</p><p><i>The</i> <i>New Arab</i> <a href="https://www.newarab.com/news/tragic-649-page-document-names-every-palestinian-killed-gaza">notes</a> that names of just the babies killed under the age of one fill the first 14 pages of the document.</p><p>The
final 11 pages contain the names of people aged 77 to 101, all of whom
were born before the State of Israel was established on stolen
Palestinian land in 1948.</p><p>The ministry reported that two-thirds of Palestinians killed in the Gaza war were women, children, and elderly people.</p><p>The statistics show that 11,355 children have been killed so far, a third of the total deaths.</p><p>It
also states that 13,737 men have been killed, around 40 percent of the
total death toll, the majority of them aged between 18 and 30.</p><div class="gmail-twitter-tweet gmail-twitter-tweet-rendered" style="display:flex;max-width:550px;width:100%;margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px"></div> <p>Some of these are fighters from Hamas and other Palestinian resistance groups, while many others are unarmed civilian men.</p><p>The
ministry said it had recorded the names and identities of 67,433 people
who have been injured during the relentless Israeli airstrikes and
ground operations.</p><p>The actual number of injured and wounded is
likely far higher, with many bodies remaining under the rubble of homes
and buildings destroyed by Israeli strikes.</p><p>Indirect deaths from
the war, including from disease and hunger, are also not included and
could reach into the hundreds of thousands over time.</p><p>In July, a report from the UK medical journal <i>The Lancet </i><a href="https://thecradle.co/articles-id/25821">estimated</a>
Israel's assault on Gaza could lead to between 149,000 and 598,000
Palestinian deaths were it to have ended at the time of publishing in
July.</p><p>The journal published a research correspondence between
physicians and public health experts on the difficulty of accounting for
the number of those killed by Israel's war on Gaza, highlighting that
both direct and indirect deaths should be considered.</p><p>Regarding the Ministry of Health report, <i>The</i> <i>New Arab </i>adds
that “October was the deadliest month for Palestinian children and
women according to the ministry, while the months from March to August
were the deadliest for men.”</p><p>Israeli bombing has flattened large
swathes of Gaza, with Palestinians being targeted in homes, apartment
buildings, UN shelters, schools, mosques, churches, and hospitals.</p><div class="gmail-twitter-tweet gmail-twitter-tweet-rendered" style="display:flex;max-width:550px;width:100%;margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px"></div> <p>Israeli
forces have also demolished massive residential areas to make room for
buffer zones along the Gaza–Israel border and to create secure routes
along the Gaza–Egypt border and Netzarim corridor, which bisects Gaza in
two.</p><p>Israeli ministers Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich and
their supporters say they wish to flatten Gaza and expel its 2.3 million
Palestinian residents to make way for new Jewish settlements in the
enclave.</p></span></div></div></div></div>
