A report by UN Women states that over 38,000 women and girls were killed in Gaza between October 2023 and December 2025, including 22,000 women and 16,000 girls, averaging at least 47 deaths daily. The findings, detailed in The Cost of the War in Gaza on Women and Girls, prompted calls for a full ceasefire and accountability for violations of international law, including actions attributed to Israel Defense Forces. Despite a ceasefire since October 2025 in the Gaza Strip, violence persists, with over 750 Palestinians and four Israeli soldiers reported killed amid ongoing accusations of truce violations.
