UN: 50,000 women among Gaza casualties
The United Nations Women organization has reported that approximately 50,000 women and girls in the Gaza Strip have been killed or seriously injured since the start of the aggression in October 2023, representing around one in every 21 women and girls in the area. Among the victims, more than 38,000 women and girls have been martyred, and 11,700 have sustained severe injuries resulting in permanent disabilities, despite ongoing violence even after the ceasefire that began a year ago. Additionally, one million women and girls have been displaced from their homes, with most of the displaced living in tents or among the rubble. The number of female-headed households has also doubled, now accounting for a quarter of all households in Gaza. The organization highlighted the worsening humanitarian conditions, with rising rates of violence against women, increasing poverty, and a surge in child marriages. It called for the full implementation of the ceasefire agreement and the respect of international law to hold violators accountable.
