By the numbers: 200 days of Israel’s war on Gaza
Al Jazeera
More than 34,000 Palestinians killed and vast swaths of the enclave is in ruins as Israel continues its assault.
Mass graves, crippled hospitals, thousands of civilian deaths and near-total destruction of infrastructure haunt Gaza as Israel’s war on the besieged Palestinian coastal enclave entered its 200th day on Tuesday.
Israel launched its brutal military offensive on October 7 following a deadly attack by Hamas fighters. Some 1,139 people were killed and about 240 people were taken captive by the Palestinian fighters. Nearly 85 percent of Gaza’s 2.3 million people have been displaced and more than 14,000 children have been killed in the offensive which critics have dubbed a war of vengeance.
Here are some numbers that highlight the unprecedented level of violence used in the past six months while Israel remains adamant about launching a ground invasion in Rafah – the southernmost point in Gaza, sheltering 1.5 million Palestinians, most of whom fled earlier phases of the war.
According to the Gaza Health Ministry, at least 34,183 people have been killed, and 77,084 have been wounded in Israeli attacks.
Approximately 72 percent of those killed are women and children, according to an update by the Gaza Media Office on Tuesday.
