On average, one Palestinian child was killed every 10 minutes in Gaza in the past month of Israel’s genocidal bombardment.
As Israel’s genocidal campaign enters its second month, the death toll in Gaza rises past 10,000 – and while powerful world leaders and politicians continue to support this genocide, the world has also seen massive protests and a show of solidarity with the Palestinian people.
Pro-Palestinian and cease-fire protests have erupted across the world, ship dockers across Europe are refusing to unload ships carrying weapons to Israel, and many in the US have blocked ports that reportedly are shipping arms to Israel. The people of the world have spoken, and we have seen that the majority of the world is on the Palestinian side.
Despite shows of solidarity, however, the number of those innocent killed in Gaza continues to rise – which includes thousands of children and babies. Here are the most recent statistics and numbers:
- Israel’s bombing has killed over 10,000 people in Gaza and at least 160 in the West Bank, as the genocide against the Palestinians enters its second month.
- Israel has killed over 4,104 Palestinian children since its bombardment of Gaza.
- On average, one Palestinian child was killed every 10 minutes in Gaza in the past month of Israel’s bombardment.
- The death toll for Gazan journalists has risen to 48 – the highest since the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) began documenting fatalities in 1992.
- The Palestine Red Crescent said the Al Quds Hospital’s power generator will run out of fuel reserves in the next 48 hours, and issued an urgent appeal for international health organizations to provide essential aid and supplies. “The hospital’s fuel reserves will run out within 48 hours, and life-saving equipment, neonatal incubators, and intensive care units will cease to function,” the PRCS stated.
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on Monday that Israel would control the “overall security responsibility” of Gaza for an indefinite period after this current bombardment.
- The Biden administration has told the US Congress that it plans to send precision bombs worth $230 million to Israel, according to numerous reports. This is amidst the death toll in Gaza surpassing 10,000.
