The UN has condemned the high civilian death toll in Gaza, revealing that nearly 70% of the victims over a six-month period were women and children. The UN's Human Rights Office verified the deaths of 8,119 people, finding that 44% were children and 26% were women. This staggering figure was attributed to Israel’s use of wide-area weapons in densely populated areas, though some deaths also resulted from Palestinian armed groups. The report highlights severe violations of international law and calls for accountability, as the conflict has caused immense human suffering, particularly in northern Gaza.
