GAZA: 3,195 children killed in three weeks surpasses annual number of children killed in conflict zones since 2019
The number of children reported killed in Gaza in just three weeks has surpassed the annual number of children killed across conflict zones
Since October 7, more than 3,257 children have been reported killed, including at least 3,195 in Gaza, 33 in the West Bank, and 29 in Israel, according to the Ministries of Health in Gaza and Israel respectively. The number of children reported killed in just three weeks in Gaza is more than the number killed in armed conflict globally – across more than 20 countries – over the course of a whole year, for the last three years.

This is a tragedy, but I just want to get a few things straight:
- The numbers regarding Palestinian victims come exclusively from Hamas.
- Hamas has been caught lying about these numbers before. Often, and with no shame. And they're a terrorist group. I'm sure the truth is still tragic, but the specific numbers cannot be trusted to the point where you can compare them to anybody else. The death toll is certainly lower than Hamas says it is, the number of dead children is a smaller proportion than they say it is, and they have no interest in separating civilians from combatants for their BS statistics anyway.
- Hundreds of rockets from PIJ and Hamas have fallen short of their targets, landing in Gaza, most famously causing the Al-Ahli hospital explosion. Again, although Hamas estimated 500 dead (a number it somehow put out within 20 minutes of the explosion), independent estimates are that roughly 200 people died—which is still 200 too many.
- Hamas is refusing to allow civilians to evacuate because its goal is, in no small part, to "martyr" as many children as possible in the hopes that these statistics will turn you against Israel. It uses roadblocks and misinformation to prevent civilians from evacuating to the South. It is, in fact, using civilians as human shields.
Dan, this thing reads like the narcissists prayer dude.
That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.How DARE he provide nuance and not just circlejerk
lol, wut?
Is there a format in which you think these facts would be less inconvenient for you?
Is there a number of dead children you wouldn't find the need to refute?
There is, unfortunately, no organization able to provide an accurate number. Whatever the number is, it is tragic.
Did I say something that's not completely accurate?
Just found it curious that 3000 kids die from buildings and bombs dropping on their heads and you point the finger at the people that are supposedly in the buildings with them?
