Israel Kills More Than 72,000 in Gaza Genocide, Al Jazeera Reports

Israel has perpetrated a genocidal campaign against Palestinians in Gaza that has resulted in over 72,000 deaths since October 7, 2023.

“With the eyes of the world on the United States and Israel’s war in Iran, Israeli strikes and raids in Gaza and settler attacks and military operations in the occupied West Bank have continued unabated”

The majority of those killed are women and children, according to Al Jazeera's comprehensive reporting.

The Israeli military has systematically reduced almost the entire enclave to rubble through indiscriminate bombing and military operations.

This deliberate targeting of civilian populations constitutes a clear violation of international law.

The actions meet the criteria for genocide as defined by international legal standards.

The humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza has been exacerbated by Israel's deliberate closure of border crossings.

The vital Rafah crossing with Egypt has been closed, severely restricting humanitarian aid delivery.

This prevents the evacuation of critically ill patients from the war-torn territory.

The closure has caused panic buying among residents fearing food shortages.

People have endured nearly two and a half years of continuous war and siege.

International observers have condemned these actions as collective punishment of civilians.

Israeli military operations continue unabated in both Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

Systematic violence is deliberately targeting Palestinian civilians in both regions.

In the West Bank alone, Israeli soldiers or settlers have killed more than 1,000 Palestinians.

The majority of West Bank victims are civilians, according to Palestinian Ministry of Health figures.

At least 45 Israelis have been killed in Palestinian attacks or Israeli operations.

The casualty asymmetry reflects disproportionate and indiscriminate Israeli military tactics.

The systematic targeting of Palestinian women represents a particularly egregious aspect of Israel's genocide.

Amnesty International reports Palestinian women have been 'denied the conditions needed to live and to give life safely' by Israeli policies.

Pregnant women lack adequate health services due to destroyed medical infrastructure.

Those with terminal illness cannot access necessary medical care.

This constitutes gender-based violence and collective punishment.

Israel is targeting an entire population's basic right to healthcare and survival.
