Gaza Civilian Casualties Rise to Alarming Levels
Unprecedented Death Toll Raises Concerns
Over 11,000 Palestinians Killed Since October
In a shocking development, the number of women and children killed in Gaza has risen dramatically in recent weeks, exceeding the toll from the roughly two-month period in 2014.
The escalating violence in Gaza has resulted in an unprecedented number of civilian casualties, with over 11,100 Palestinians killed since October. The data is based on information released by three Hamas-controlled entities and includes civilians and combatants.
Disturbing reports have emerged of mass graves in Gaza, where Palestinian victims were buried without proper identification or documentation.
Among the casualties are six American citizens who were serving in the Israeli security forces. They have died in Israel and Gaza since the violence erupted.
According to Gaza's Civil Defense group, 33 civilians were killed in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza City alone.
Gaza's health ministry does not distinguish between civilians and combatants in its casualty figures.
