Over 38,000 Women and Girls Killed in Gaza War Since October 2023, UN Women Reports
UN Women has reported that the ongoing conflict in Gaza since October 2023 has inflicted a disproportionately high death toll on women and girls. Over 38,000 females have been killed as a result of Israeli air strikes and ground military operations.
These casualties follow Hamas-led terror attacks in Israel that triggered the war. The figures indicate a marked increase in fatalities among the female population in Gaza compared to previous conflicts.
The report highlights the significant humanitarian impact on women and girls amid the hostilities. The high daily death toll underscores the severe and continuing nature of the crisis in the Palestinian enclave.
UN Women's data reflects the scale of civilian suffering, with women and girls comprising a large proportion of the fatalities since October 2023. This represents a critical dimension of the conflict's human cost in Gaza.
