It has been two years since Israel launched its genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
Israel’s assault on Gaza began on October 7, 2023, in response to attacks on southern Israel by fighters from the Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, and other Palestinian groups, during which 1,139 people died and about 240 were taken into Gaza as captives.
In response, Israel began a bombing campaign on Gaza and tightened its longstanding blockade, turning what had already been a 16-year siege into a total stranglehold.
1 out of 33 people in Gaza killed
Two years of Israeli attacks have killed at least 67,000 Palestinians. Thousands of other people are still under the rubble.
That is about one out of every 33 people killed, or 3 percent of the pre-war population.
