A mediados de agosto de 2024, as accións militares israelís provocaron máis de 40.000 mortes palestinas confirmadas, 1 de cada 59 persoas en Gaza, cunha media de 148 mortes por día. A maioría das vítimas son civís,[6][7] dos cales polo menos o 50% son mulleres e nenos.[8][9] En comparación con outros conflitos globais recentes, o número de mortes coñecidas de xornalistas, traballadores humanitarios, sanitarios e nenos está entre os máis altos.[10] Crese que hai milleiros de cadáveres máis baixo os cascallos de edificios destruídos.[7][11] O número de feridos é superior aos 100.000;[12] Gaza ten o maior número de nenos amputados per cápita do mundo.[13] En agosto de 2024, só 17 dos 36 hospitais de Gaza estaban parcialmente funcionando;[14] o 84% dos seus centros de saúde foron destruídos ou sufriron danos.[15] O bloqueo forzado israelí contribuíu en gran medida á fame e á ameaza de fame en Gaza, mentres que algúns civís israelís bloquearon ou atacaron os convois de axuda que entregaban subministracións humanitarias a través da fronteira. A principios do conflito, Israel cortou o abastecemento de auga e electricidade de Gaza. Israel tamén destruíu numerosos edificios culturalmente significativos, como as 12 universidades de Gaza, o 80% das súas escolas,[16][17] e numerosas mesquitas, igrexas, museos e bibliotecas.[18]

Consultado o 22 de decembro de 2023. Grave violations committed by Israel against Palestinians in the aftermath of 7 October, particularly in Gaza, point to a genocide in the making, UN experts said today. They illustrated evidence of increasing genocidal incitement, overt intent to "destroy the Palestinian people under occupation", loud calls for a 'second Nakba' in Gaza and the rest of the occupied Palestinian territory, and the use of powerful weaponry with inherently indiscriminate impacts, resulting in a colossal death toll and destruction of life-sustaining infrastructure.
↑Amnesty International report 2024, p. 13: "This report focuses on the Israeli authorities' policies and actions in Gaza as part of the military offensive they launched in the wake of the Hamas-led attacks on 7 October 2023 while situating them within the broader context of Israel's unlawful occupation, and system of apartheid against Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and Israel. It assesses allegations of violations and crimes under international law by Israel in Gaza within the framework of genocide under international law, concluding that there is sufficient evidence to believe that Israel's conduct in Gaza following 7 October 2023 amounts to genocide."
