Casualties and Impact of Gaza Conflict

On the basis of the current figures, on average,

two hundred and forty-seven Palestinians are being

killed and are at risk of being killed each day,

many of them literally blown to pieces.

They include forty-eight mothers each day,

two every hour,

and over one hundred and seventeen children each day,

leading UNICEF to call Israel's actions a war on children.

On current rates, which show, show no sign of abating, each

day, over three medics, two teachers,

more than one United N-Nations employee, and more than one

journalist will be killed, many while at work or in what

appear to be targeted attacks on their family homes or where they are

sheltering.

The risk of famine will increase each day.

Each day, an average of six hundred and twenty-nine people will

be wounded,

some multiple times over as they move from place to place,

desperately seeking sanctuary.

Each day,

over ten Palestinian children will have one or

both legs amputated, many without

anesthetic.

Each day, on current rates, an average of three thousand nine

hundred Palestinian homes will be damaged or destroyed.

More mass graves will be dug.

More cemeteries will be bulldozed and bombed, and corpses violently

exhumed, denying even the dead any dignity

or peace.

Each day, ambulances, hospitals, and medics will

continue to be attacked and killed.

The first responders who have spent three months without

international assistance trying to dig families out of the

rubble with their bare hands will continue to be

targeted.

On current figures, one will be killed almost every second

day,

sometimes in attacks launched against those attending the scene to rescue

the wounded.

Each day, yet more desperate people will be forced

to relocate from where they are

sheltering or will be bombed in places where they have been

told to evacuate to.

Entire multi-generational families will be obliterated,

and yet more Palestinian chil-children will become

WCNSF,

Wounded Child No Surviving Family.

The terrible new acronym born out of Israel's genocidal

assault on the Palestinian population in Gaza.
