Marking One Year Since Israel's Genocide In Gaza In Numbers
Since Oct. 7, Israel has killed more than 41,870 Palestinians, with 17,000 being children and many under the age of two.
Nowhere is safe for Palestinians in Gaza.
This statement has been repeated, again and again, since Oct. 7, 2023, and yet it continues to ring true one year on.
One year since Israel began its genocide in Gaza, it has been indiscriminately attacking and killing Palestinian men, women and children.
It has raided, bombed and besieged everything from homes to schools to hospitals to shelters to even camps and zones it had previously designated as “safe”.
Since Oct. 7, Israel has killed more than 41,870 Palestinians, with 17,000 being children and many under the age of two.
It has injured more than 97,166 others, mostly women and children.
Israel has also been blocking all Gaza crossings, with no way in or out. It has been depriving Palestinians in the Gaza Strip of their basic human rights and necessities, such as water, food and electricity, as it continues to block aid from entering and targeting aid workers.
It is a fact that the world hasn’t seen anything like Israel’s destruction in Gaza since World War II.
In fact, it would take until 2040 to fix the damage Israel has caused in Gaza.
Yet despite the global pressure from numerous UN resolutions, politician demands for a ceasefire, huge, unprecedented protests in Israel and worldwide and the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) most recently adopting a resolution demanding that Israel end its illegal occupation of Palestine within one year, Israel has continued its its genocide in Gaza.
It’s time for the world to stop allowing Israel to act without facing consequences. One year on, it’s not too late. Demand a ceasefire. Demand a free Palestine.
