Occupation Crimes
The Unimaginable Destruction
For over a month and a half, the people of Gaza have endured a relentless assault that has left their skies glowing red with rockets and their homes reduced to rubble. With a population of 2.2 million, Gaza has been under siege, facing unimaginable devastation.
A Shocking Loss of Life
During this brutal attack on Gaza more than 12,000 Palestinians, including 4,300 children, have lost their lives. Tragically, many are still missing, buried under the wreckage caused by Israeli bombings.
An Unprecedented Military Campaign
According to official Israeli data, between October 7 and November 1, a staggering 12,000 sites in Gaza were targeted. This makes it the most violent military campaign in modern history.
Comparing the Destruction
The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor reveals that the Israeli army has dropped a mind-boggling 25,000 tons of explosives on Gaza since October 7. To put this into perspective, it is equivalent to the force of two nuclear bombs. This surpasses the devastation caused by the United States during World War II when they dropped the "Little Boy" nuclear bomb weighing 15 tons on Hiroshima, obliterating everything within a 1.6-kilometer radius.
