UN Women Report: More Than 38,000 Women and Girls Killed in Israeli Regime Attacks on Gaza
A new report issued by UN Women has highlighted the devastating impact of the Israeli regime's attacks on Gaza on women and girls.
According to the report, more than 38,000 women and girls have been killed since the start of what it describes as the Israeli regime's genocide. This figure includes 22,000 women and 16,000 girls.
The report states that an average of at least 47 women and girls have been killed each day.
In addition, nearly 11,000 women and girls have been wounded in the attacks, with most suffering from disabilities.
Sophia Calltorp, the head of humanitarian actions at UN Women, provided these statistics in the new report.
The statistics point to the significant toll the attacks have taken on women and girls in Gaza. The daily average of deaths and the high number of wounded with disabilities illustrate the scale of the humanitarian crisis for this demographic.
The report from the United Nations agency focuses attention on these specific casualty figures and their implications for the affected population. By presenting these numbers, the report seeks to emphasize the particular vulnerabilities and suffering of women and girls in the context of the broader conflict.
