Is Israel’s Gaza war the deadliest conflict for children in modern times?
Many more children have been killed in Gaza every day compared with Ukraine, Afghanistan, Iraq, other conflict zones.
Perhaps they aren't killed in the same numbers in Ukraine, but mass kidnapping and relocation to Russia is pretty shit too.

I would imagine the genocides in Bosnia or Rwanda were worse... but are they counting that as "modern times".
13 0 ReplyYes those are worse using their deaths per day metric, but they don't seem to be going before 2008, or looking at civilian on civilian.
4 0 ReplyThat's the problem with getting old... "Bosnia and Rwanda, that was, what? 10? 12 years ago?...
(looks up Wikipedia) 1992, 1994, 1995... yeah, so, like 10-12 years ago... tops..."

For children, surely top 5. Rwanda and Yemen, the USA's caused deaths in Iraq due to the power vacuum they created are higher though.

6 2 ReplyYemen is in their chart.
The key here is that they are comparing the per day figures.
This conflict is not yet over. If it lasts as long as the one in Yemen, at this rate it would kill 347,380 children.

It's a real neck and neck race between genocidal war and America's school system

HS was so screwed, even though it was supposed to be the 3rd best in the state.
