A victim every 30 minutes A shocking UN tally of Israeli crimes against women in Gaza

In a shocking tally reflecting the scale of the humanitarian tragedy, UN Women revealed figures documenting the deaths of more than 38,000 women and girls in the Gaza Strip during the Israeli war from October 2023 to December 2025.

These figures paint a horrific picture, with 47 women and girls killed every day, a reality that has sent shockwaves through human rights and media circles.

Six months after the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, UN Women issued a stark warning in its report, “The Cost of War in Gaza on Women and Girls.” The report summarized the scale of the catastrophe in numbers, revealing that among the victims were more than 22,000 women and 16,000 girls.

The tragedy also extended to the injury of approximately 11,000 women and girls, resulting in lifelong disabilities. The UN agency asserts that the actual number is far higher, as many bodies remain trapped under the rubble, while the collapse of health information systems has hampered documentation efforts. As soon as this shocking toll was published, social media platforms were ablaze with widespread reactions and a wave of anger. The shock was not limited to the magnitude of the tragedy, but extended to include the condemnation of followers for the report not explicitly mentioning Israel’s responsibility for these massacres.
