it’s a wasteland. it’s annihilation. all on our watch. and the number of those killed is likely much higher. my understanding is that bodies missing, likely under the rubble, are not counted as deaths. even though, family members know their loved ones are underneath the rubble. so the number likely is over 100,000, maybe even 200,000. feels as though it falls on deaf ears, but again – #CeasefireNow!
may hearts open ⭕️♥️🙏🏼
voteinorout: Drone footage released around mid-June 2025—marking more than 600 days since the outbreak of hostilities on October 7, 2023—paints a stark picture of Gaza’s destruction.
Satellite and field assessments show between 63-69% of Gaza’s buildings, including over 175,000 structures, have been damaged or destroyed .
Israel maintains its bombing campaign targets Hamas military infrastructure, claiming militants embed themselves amid civilians. But the sheer scale of residential and public building devastation indicates damage far exceeds combat zones.
On the human toll, Gaza’s Health Ministry reported over 57,800 deaths as of June 18 2025—approximately 1 in 44 residents-with more than 100,000 injured. Independent sources, including the U.N. Human Rights Office, confirm roughly 70% of verified fatalities were women and children .
Specific operations like “Operation Might and Sword” on March 18, 2025 took at least 855 lives, including 263 women and children, and injured over 1,800 . Reports also note that as of June 20, at least 44 Palestinians, many waiting for food aid, were killed in stray or targeted fire near distribution sites.
