A damning Palestinian report published today confirms that Gaza’s population has plummeted by 6 percent by the end of 2024, a direct consequence of Israel’s ongoing brutal assault on the Strip.

According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS), the war has left 45,541 Palestinians dead, some 11,000 are missing and believed to be under the rubble and at least 100,000 have been forced to flee Gaza as Israel’s campaign of destruction continues to devastate the enclave.

The Gaza health bureau is not counting indirect kills from starvation/diseases etc as killed by Israel. Which is pretty stupid of them.

Also some children have been born slightly cranking up the number.
