(Francesca Albanese)
A number of friends (and readers of this blog) tell me they cannot cope with the genocide in Gaza. I understand: it shocks me to the core every single day. But please do not turn away from this summary, which is based entirely on official UN and WHO data.
_________________________________________
72,133 confirmed dead (Likely death toll: c.125,000)
_________________________________________
21,289 children killed (One an hour) 17,000 children orphaned
_________________________________________
171,826 people seriously injured (4, 800 amputees) (11,000 permanently disabled)
_________________________________________
More than 95% of people starving (Two out of three children eat only bread) (Food for 3 million blocked on the border)
_________________________________________
36 hospitals destroyed (All medical equipment blocked on the border)
_________________________________________
9 out of 10 people forced from their homes 60% of all buildings damaged 50 million tonnes of rubble – c.10,000, people buried beneath that rubble
_________________________________________
9,600 Palestinians held as prisoners (including 350 children) 1,250 “unlawful combatants” held in a network of military torture camps.

382 UN workers killed (100 NGOs still blocked from entering Gaza) 248 journalists killed – no independent journalists allowed in

This is one of the principal reasons why so few people understand what is really going on in the concentration camp that was once the Gaza Strip.
The UK Government recognised the State of Palestine on September 22nd 2025.
Since then, it has done literally nothing to stop this ongoing genocide.
(My heartfelt thanks to Els de Bruijn for compiling these official UN data).
Please share as widely as you can.
