According to a recent data analysis by the Associated Press, women and children in Gaza are less likely to be killed as the death toll continues to rise in the ongoing conflict.
The analysis, which looked at data from the past 11 days of violence, found that while the overall death toll in Gaza has reached over 200, only 20% of those killed were women and children. This is in stark contrast to previous conflicts, where women and children made up a larger percentage of the casualties.
The data also showed that the majority of those killed in Gaza were men, with many of them being militants. This suggests that the Israeli military is targeting specific individuals and not indiscriminately attacking civilians.
However, this does not diminish the tragic loss of life in Gaza. The death toll includes innocent civilians, including women and children, who have been caught in the crossfire of the conflict. The AP’s analysis also found that many of the women and children who were killed were in their homes when they were hit by airstrikes.
The ongoing violence in Gaza has sparked international outrage and calls for a ceasefire. The United Nations has called for an immediate end to the hostilities, stating that the civilian population in Gaza is bearing the brunt of the conflict.
The AP’s data analysis sheds light on the impact of the conflict on women and children, who are often the most vulnerable in times of war. It also highlights the need for a swift resolution to the conflict to prevent further loss of innocent lives.
As the violence continues to escalate, it is crucial for all parties involved to prioritize the protection of civilians, especially women and children. The international community must also come together to find a peaceful solution to the conflict and prevent further loss of life.
