Overview
- UN Women released a new analysis that counts more than 38,000 women and girls killed in Gaza from October 2023 through December 2025, an average of at least 47 per day.
- The agency said females made up more than half of all recorded deaths, based on about 71,000 deaths reported by Gaza’s health ministry, which is run by Hamas.
- About 11,000 women and girls suffered very serious wounds that left many with lasting disabilities, creating long‑term care needs.
- Nearly one million were displaced multiple times, and about 790,000 face critical or worse hunger with scarce safe water, medical care, and aid.
- UN Women called for a women‑centered relief effort and warned that recent casualty updates lack sex‑ and age‑specific data, even as more than 730 people were reported dead and over 2,000 injured in the past six months.
