The image is repeated over and over again in Gaza: devastated children, women and men say goodbye to their relatives who lie lifeless among dozens of corpses. It is part of the daily life of a Gaza Strip that, since October 7, has seen more than 20,000 of its citizens, 8,000 of them children.

The real figure is even higher. There are still 6,700 missing, the vast majority of whom are minors whose whereabouts are unknown, but with a high probability that they have been buried under the rubble. He also worries about the list of workers murdered, almost 600 between journalists, health workers, civil protection workers and UNRWA.

The civilians of the strip do not even have a place to bury their dead and, therefore, the list of mass graves now number 125. Furthermore, those who survive do so in inhumane conditions. In the north, for example, the wounded are abandoned to their fate, because there is no operational hospital left.

In addition to deaths and injuries, the trail of bombs also leaves almost 2 million displaced that they no longer have anywhere to return to.

Israel has had to mourn the death of hundreds of its compatriots. Only on October 7 Hamas killed 1,139 people. And since the ground offensive began, 134 Israeli soldiers They have been shot down. Figures that hide stories and lives broken by a war that, for now, is far from over.
