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.
