Five out of every 10 martyrs are minors. Three out of every 10 killed are women. Two out of every 10 are men. To the above numbers must be added the staggering 63,354 wounded. The gravity of the situation becomes even more apparent when compared to other wars in Iraq, Syria, and Ukraine, where Gaza has experienced a higher daily death rate than all other three.
