The number of Palestinians killed in 2023 is the largest since the Nakba (Catastrophe) in 1948, the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics said on Sunday.
In a statement issued on the last day of the year, the center noted that 22,404 Palestinians have been killed since the beginning of the year, including 22,141 since the start of the Israeli aggression on October 7.
98 percent of the Palestinians killed were from the Gaza Strip, including nearly 9,000 children and 6,450 women.
The destruction generated by Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip is comparable to the bombing of Germany during World War II, according to a report published by the Wall Street Journal on Saturday.https://t.co/7ULP81U819 pic.twitter.com/hmRRUcz9lB
