In a preliminary toll, the ongoing Israeli war of genocide on Gaza has claimed the lives of approximately 24,927 individuals since October 7, with 62,388 others injured, a majority of whom are women and children.
Moreover, this aggression has resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly 2 million people from all parts of the Gaza Strip. The majority of the displaced individuals have been forced by Israel into the densely crowded southern city of Rafah, near the border with Egypt, marking Palestine’s largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.
