Photos: The staggering human toll of Israel’s war on Gaza | Israelo-Palestinian conflict


Israel’s war on Gaza has killed more than 20,000 Palestinians, including women and children, destroyed homes and livelihoods, and displaced millions.

As Israel vows to continue its assault, the air and ground offensive is already one of the most devastating military offensives in recent history.

The deaths in Gaza represent nearly 1 percent of the territory’s pre-war population – the latest in a long list of statistics that bear witness to the staggering human toll of the 11-week conflict.

The bombings have displaced nearly 85 percent of Gaza’s 2.3 million residents, destroying large swaths of the small coastal enclave.

More than half a million people are starving, according to a report from the United Nations and other agencies released Thursday.

But these statistics only tell part of the story, these images help to show the dark face of war.
