Two Years of Genocide: Numbers reflect scale of Zionist crimes & Palestinian Suffering
With the completion of two years since the crime of genocide, ethnic cleansing, and the ongoing war of starvation, the world has become increasingly aware of the magnitude of the crimes against humanity being inflicted upon the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip by the fascist Israeli army, despite the misleading media machinery of the global powers, led by the United States and Israel.
No one now denies the genocide being committed by the Israeli occupation army against the Palestinian people in Gaza for the past two years—except for former U.S. President Donald Trump and war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court, along with their cohorts—after the world witnessed the scale of Zionist crimes against Gaza residents since 7 October 2023, which continue to this day.
From the very first day of the genocide, the Israeli occupation army, under the directives of its political and military leadership, deliberately pursued a policy of mass killing against civilians without distinction or red lines, focusing on densely populated areas and refugee settlements, using weapons of mass destruction, including concussion bombs, explosive drones, armored vehicles, and car bombs.
The numbers of atrocities committed by the Israeli army over 732 days stand as a living testimony to the brutality, Nazism, and fascism of this enemy.
Several Palestinian authorities and international organizations, including the Government Media Office and the Ministry of Health in Gaza, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), the International Commission to Support the Rights of the Palestinian People (HESD), the Palestine Information Center (MAATA), and other organizations, have issued statistical reports on the scale of losses during two years of genocide, which were documented by the Yemen News Agency (SABA) in this report.
According to a statistical report by the Media Office in Gaza, more than 2.4 million people in Gaza continue to face genocide, starvation, and ethnic cleansing, as the Israeli enemy has destroyed 90% of the Gaza Strip across all sectors over 730 days, dropping 200,000 tons of explosives across various areas.
While the Government Media Office states that 80% of Gaza’s territory is under Israeli control through invasion, fire, and displacement, UNRWA confirms that 83% of the area is under Israeli military control, military zones, or evacuation orders.
As for the Al-Mawasi area in Khan Younis in southern Gaza, which the Israeli army claims is a “safe humanitarian zone,” it has been bombed 136 times, resulting in the martyrdom of hundreds and injuries to dozens.
Martyrs and Missing Persons
The brutal massacres have not stopped over the past two years. According to reports from the Government Media Office and the Ministry of Health in Gaza, the total number of martyrs and missing persons since the start of the genocide is 76,639, including 67,173 martyrs who reached hospitals, while 9,500 remain missing, some still under rubble or with unknown fates.
The reports confirm that 55% of these martyrs are children, women, and the elderly.
On a daily average, over the two years of continuous genocide, the Israeli army kills 92 Palestinians every day, including 27 children, 14 women, 12 mothers, and 30 fathers, and commits massacres against 53 families daily, completely wiping out 4 families and leaving only a single survivor in 8 families.
Data from the Ministry of Health in Gaza confirms that 460 of these martyrs died from famine and malnutrition caused by the enemy’s starvation campaign.
Targeting Children
The number of children martyred has exceeded 20,000, with more than 19,450 reaching hospitals, including 1,015 children under the age of one who were martyred, as well as more than 450 infants born and martyred during the genocidal war, according to the government media office.
Meanwhile, the Gaza Ministry of Health confirms the death of 154 children due to famine and malnutrition, and that 5,580 children need to travel abroad for treatment to save their lives. The Palestine Information Center (Ma’ta) points out that 650,000 children are at risk of death from malnutrition, including 40,000 infants threatened with starvation due to a lack of baby formula.
Among the martyrs, more than 12,500 were women, with over 10,160 reaching hospitals, including more than nine thousand mothers. The number of martyred fathers reached 22,426.
Among the targeted categories of martyrs by the enemy army, there were 1,701 medical personnel, 255 journalists, 140 civil defense members, 176 municipal employees in Gaza, including 4 mayors, 894 sports figures from all sports disciplines, and 787 police officers and aid security personnel.
Erasing Families from the Civil Registry
Because this is a genocidal war and ethnic cleansing, the Zionist enemy has targeted entire families wherever possible, aiming to completely erase thousands of families from the civil registry. More than 39,022 families were subjected to Zionist massacres, with over 2,700 families completely wiped out from the civil registry, totaling 8,574 martyrs, while more than 6,020 families were annihilated leaving only a single survivor, totaling 12,917 martyrs.
The government media report confirms that 42% of kidney patients lost their lives due to lack of food and medical care caused by the Zionist blockade, while Gaza witnessed more than 12,000 miscarriages among pregnant women due to food shortages, inadequate medical care, and the effects of continuous bombing.
The report also notes that 17 Palestinians were martyred due to cold in forced displacement camps, including 14 children, while 23 people were martyred due to incorrectly airdropped aid.
Top Five Massacres
The scale of the genocide becomes clearer when reviewing the most prominent massacres committed by the enemy army over the past two years. Here we recall only the top five massacres out of thousands of Zionist massacres.
The first massacre occurred at Al-Ma’madani Hospital in Gaza City on October 17, 2024, in which more than 500 Palestinians were martyred, mostly women and children who had sought refuge in the hospital after receiving threats from the enemy army to bomb surrounding residential areas.
In an operation carried out by the enemy army on Al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City from March 18 to April 1, 2024, a horrific massacre was committed in which more than 400 Palestinians were martyred, including displaced people, medical personnel, government employees, and civilians near the largest medical complex in Gaza.
After bombing and besieging Al-Shifa Complex, enemy soldiers stormed the complex, firing on patients in their beds and on doctors who refused orders to leave and abandon their patients. After the withdrawal of the enemy forces, three mass graves were discovered in the complex courtyard, along with bodies of martyrs bound.
One of the largest massacres during the first year of the Israeli aggression occurred on June 8, 2024, when Israeli air and artillery strikes targeted the Nuseirat Camp, resulting in the martyrdom of 274 Palestinians, including 64 children and 57 women.
At that time, the enemy army justified the massacre as an attempt to rescue 4 Israeli captives held by Hamas, while the Al-Qassam Brigades announced that the bombing caused hundreds of Palestinian casualties and the deaths of three Israeli captives held by them.
On November 18, 2023, the enemy army carried out another horrific massacre, killing 200 Palestinians, mostly women and children, when it targeted Al-Fakhoura School in Jabalia Camp, northern Gaza, which sheltered displaced people. On the same day, in the same camp, the enemy army carried out another massacre by bombing Tal Al-Za’atar School, which also housed displaced people, killing 50 martyrs.
The Nabulsi Roundabout massacre occurred on February 29, 2024, when the Israeli army opened fire on hundreds of Palestinian civilians gathered to receive aid near Nabulsi Roundabout southwest of Gaza City, resulting in the martyrdom of 120 people and wounding 760 others, in a massacre known as the “Flour Massacre.”
Massacres of Aid-Seekers
On May 27, and in an attempt to whitewash its criminal image before the world, the Israeli entity began implementing a mechanism to distribute limited aid through what is called the “Gaza Humanitarian Relief Foundation” in specific areas, which Palestinians have dubbed “death traps”. These were not “humanitarian” places but locations where the enemy army deliberately gathered the largest number of aid-seekers at distribution points and then opened fire on them, causing thousands of the “starving” to be killed or injured.
The United Nations, its agencies, and international relief organizations declared their rejection of this “Israeli-American” mechanism, considering it inhumane and responsible for thousands of deaths and injuries.
According to the Gaza Ministry of Health, the total number of victims seeking basic sustenance who reached hospitals to date has reached 2,610 martyrs and more than 19,143 injured.
Among the most notable days when the enemy army committed massacres against aid-seekers, the “starving” in the “death traps”, was the killing of 59 Palestinians and injuring of over 200 others waiting for aid in Khan Yunis and Rafah in southern Gaza, after being shelled by the enemy on June 17, and the day before, 38 starving were killed and 182 injured.
An even larger massacre occurred on June 11, when 57 starving were killed and 363 injured near aid distribution centers in Gaza, and the day before, 36 starving were killed and 124 injured by enemy fire near an aid distribution center by Wadi Gaza Bridge.
Injuries, Arrests, and Humanitarian Cases
Regarding injuries, arrests, and humanitarian cases, the total number of injured Palestinians who reached hospitals has reached 169,780, including over 19,000 who require long-term rehabilitation, and more than 4,900 amputations, of which 18% are children. Additionally, 1,200 people suffered paralysis, 1,200 lost their sight, and among the injured were 433 journalists.
Since the start of the genocide, the Israeli occupation has arrested more than 6,700 civilians, including 362 medical staff, 48 journalists, and 26 civil defense personnel.
As a result of the genocide, the number of widowed women (whose husbands were killed) has reached 21,193, while the total number of orphaned children (children without one or both parents) is 56,348. More than 2,142,000 Palestinians in Gaza have suffered from various infectious diseases due to forced displacement, including over 71,338 cases of viral hepatitis.
Health Sector & Civil Defense
According to official Palestinian reports, the enemy army shelled 38 hospitals and 103 health centers, destroying them or putting them out of service, in addition to targeting 197 ambulances.
The enemy carried out 788 attacks on healthcare services (facilities, vehicles, personnel, and supply chains) and targeted 61 rescue and firefighting vehicles of the civil defense.
Hospital bed occupancy rates rose to 225% by the end of September compared to 82% during the same period last year—a catastrophic level given the increase in admissions and critical injuries.
The enemy also blocked routine and emergency vaccinations, reducing children’s vaccination coverage to 80% and halting the fourth stage of polio vaccination, threatening the failure of previous stages and increasing disease spread.
Educational & Academic Institutions
One of the Israeli enemy’s goals is to deny education to the Palestinian people. Therefore, it deliberately targets educational and academic institutions in Gaza. The enemy caused material damage to 95% of schools due to bombing and genocide, with over 90% of school buildings needing reconstruction or major rehabilitation.
668 school buildings were directly bombed, representing 80% of total schools in Gaza. The enemy completely destroyed 165 schools, universities, and educational institutions, and partially destroyed 392 others.
Over 13,500 students were killed by enemy fire, and 785,000 students were deprived of education. More than 830 teachers and educational staff were killed, along with over 193 scholars, academics, and researchers.
Theft of Bodies, Destruction of Cemeteries, and Places of Worship
Even the dead, cemeteries, and places of worship were not spared by the hateful Israeli army. More than 835 mosques were completely destroyed, and over 180 partially destroyed. Three churches were targeted multiple times, and 40 cemeteries in Gaza were destroyed out of 60.
In a bizarre and malicious act, the enemy stole the bodies of more than 2,450 deceased and martyrs from the cemeteries.
The Nazi Zionist enemy established 7 mass graves inside hospitals in the Gaza Strip, from which Palestinian authorities recovered 529 martyrs who were killed by the enemy army.
Housing, Forced Displacement, and Shelter
Over the past two years of genocide, the enemy army completely destroyed 268,000 housing units, rendered 148,000 units entirely uninhabitable, and partially damaged 153,000 units, leaving over 288,000 Palestinian families homeless. Moreover, more than 125,000 displaced persons’ tents were completely worn out and unfit for habitation out of 135,000 tents.
Two million civilians in the Gaza Strip were displaced due to forced eviction policies, while the enemy army targeted 293 shelter and displacement centers.
Starvation, Denial of Aid, and Medical Care
As part of its ongoing war of starvation and genocide, the criminal Zionist army has closed all Gaza Strip crossings since March 2, 2025, preventing more than 120,000 humanitarian aid and fuel trucks from entering.
The enemy did not stop there but targeted charitable food distribution centers, known as “Takiyas,” across the Strip, striking 47 of them in the framework of its starvation campaign.
Additionally, 61 aid and food distribution centers were targeted, while 540 aid workers and volunteers were killed by enemy fire.
The enemy attacked humanitarian convoys and shipments 128 times, blocked the entry of 250,000 milk cartons needed monthly by Gaza’s children, prevented travel for 22,000 patients needing treatment abroad, and obstructed urgent medical evacuation for 5,200 children.
Despite completed referral procedures, the enemy army refuses to allow more than 18,000 patients to travel. Meanwhile, 12,500 cancer patients face death without urgent treatment, 350,000 chronic patients are at risk due to blocked medicine imports, and 3,000 patients with various illnesses require treatment abroad. Moreover, 107,000 pregnant and nursing women remain exposed to danger due to lack of healthcare.
Infrastructure & Public Services
The Zionist enemy has deliberately pursued a policy of water deprivation to force Palestinians to leave the Strip, destroying 725 central water wells and putting them out of service, while targeting 134 freshwater projects, committing massacres that killed more than 9,400 people, mostly children.
The enemy also destroyed more than 700,000 linear meters of water networks and the same amount of sewage networks, while over three million linear meters of roads and streets were demolished.
The enemy army destroyed 5,080 kilometers of electricity networks and 2,285 overhead and underground power distribution transformers, depriving Gaza of more than 2.123 billion kWh during the genocide.
Furthermore, the enemy deliberately destroyed 247 government buildings, 292 facilities, sports fields and gyms, and 208 archaeological and heritage sites.
Agriculture, Livestock, & Fisheries
As part of the genocide, ethnic cleansing, and forced displacement, the Zionist enemy carried out widespread destruction across multiple sectors, including agriculture, livestock, and fisheries.
The enemy destroyed more than 94% of agricultural land out of 178,000 dunums, 1,223 agricultural wells were put out of service, and 665 farms for cows, sheep, and poultry were destroyed.
Vegetable-cultivated land in Gaza shrank drastically—from over 93,000 dunums to only 4,000 dunums—due to the genocide and suffocating blockade by the enemy army, which also destroyed more than 85% of agricultural greenhouses across the Strip.
Gaza’s annual vegetable production, which was 405,000 tons before the genocide, dropped to only 28,000 tons. Meanwhile, the fishery sector was 100% damaged due to the blockade and targeting of fishing areas by the enemy.
Losses in Financial Figures
According to the statistical report of the Government Media Office in the Gaza Strip, the initial direct losses across 15 vital sectors due to the Zionist genocidal campaign reached $70 billion.
These losses were distributed as follows: $5 billion for the health sector, $4 billion for the education sector, $28 billion for the housing sector, $1 billion for the religious sector, $4 billion for the industrial sector, $4.5 billion for the commercial sector, $2.8 billion for the agricultural sector, and $0.8 billion for the media sector.
The initial losses also amounted to $2 billion in the entertainment and hotel sector, $4 billion in the household sector (home contents), $3 billion in the telecommunications and internet sector, $2.8 billion in the transport and logistics sector, $1.4 billion in the electricity sector, and $6 billion in the services and municipal sector.
Despite this scale of crime, genocide, and ethnic cleansing, the Palestinian people in Gaza and their valiant resistance have remained steadfast, patient, and defiant against the tyranny of arrogant global powers, confident in victory; for their cause is just, and what they are enduring now is merely the difficult labor pains of the triumph promised by God to the patient.
