Since the start of the war, more than 30,000 palestinians have been killed in gaza. Now, several experts weve spoken to have said that the number of dead could actually be much higher than this. And thats because many hospitals in gaza where deaths are recorded are no longer operating. Now, lets take a bit of a closer look at this. Look at this graph its a breakdown of who exactly has been killed. And as you can see from this, the majority of those killed have been women and children. And how does this compare with previous conflicts in gaza . Well, this chart shows deaths in 2008, and you can see that more men were killed than women and children. And its a similar picture in the second war in 2014. Now, have a look at this chart which shows the current war. Now, the bars here for women and children show the deaths in red and purple and theyre significantly higher than the one for men. Keep in mind, this war has been going on for months, whereas the others lasted for weeks. So the deat

The mps say they saw no evidence that palliative and End Of Life Care had deteriorated as a result, and in some instances it had improved. The Committee Calls for more money for hospices in england, which only get a third of their funding from t
Is indeed. We are hearing from the i must run Health Ministry that they were more than 80 People Killed overnight in the gaza strip, most of those actually apparently waiting for aid in gaza city when witnesses there say that there was shelling by israeli tanks. And still an unclear picture about what has happened there. But overall, now this really grim milestone has been passed. The Health Ministry in gaza is really the only official source of data that we have four casualty numbers. And it is the one that is relied on for the un and others and is saying that the majority of those who have been killed are women and children since the 7th of october. And also more than 70,000 people have been injured as well. These figures rely on bodies being brought in to hospitals or seen by medical workers so they can be properly registered. But actually it is thought that the real death toll is going to be much higher than this because there are several thousand people who are still considered as
