Average of 47 women and girls killed daily during Gaza war, UN says

This listnookor maths.

This is par for the course. They constantly make up numbers and then over years of criticism they dwindle down, but that's OK because no one bothers publishing the corrections as widely as the lie.

Speaking of sus; why did all the major protests on college campuses stop right after the election?

With 50 Islamic countries vs. a single Jewish country, Israel was never going to get a fair shake from the UN. 

and it has been shown by various third party organizations that the numbers by Hamas include Hamas members in them, which count for up to 30% themselves

The article does say the figure is a total of 38,000 women and children killed between October 2023 to December 2025. > who are supposed to be only 30% of killed The OHCRC report from 2024 found that of 8,119 verified fatalities, 44% were children and 26% were women. A second report found 33% were children, 18% were women, and a further 9% were elderly. The Max Planck institute found 27% were children under 5, and 24% were women. I haven't found a single source as low as 30%. **Edit** - the report behind this article reached a "completely made up" figure of 33.5%. Presumably it's the additional 3.5% which takes this report from plausible to unrealistic.

The whole thing is just publicity. Keep in mind, this includes deaths from natural causes, deaths by friendly fire, estimated percentages of unknown deaths, and more such dubious methods. Men and boys are dubious for similar reasons. Hamas recruits as young as pre-teen for soldiers, and they prefer the younger soldiers to be in front, since those deaths sound better for them in the news, and it protects the more experienced soldiers. Also, children are more likely to be given uniforms, because they hide their age, while older soldiers are often plainclothes. It doesn't mean that women, children, and just civilians in general that die aren't a tragedy. Of course it is. But it *must* be acknowledged that not only are numbers like this often absurdly inflated, but also that Hamas uses explicit tactics to increase those numbers for the sake of publicity and leverage. A very high percentage, if not virtually all of those deaths stem from Hamas's insistance on using civilian infrastructure and civilian shields with the goal of having more dead civilians. Hamas has literally explained in internal documents how increasing civilian casualties and blaming their enemy is their most effective tactic. So regardless of how true or not the specific number is, I urge anyone to remember that it is Hamas's *desire* to increase this number, and they literally do everything they can to sacrifice more of their people. Remember that when Palestinians protest Hamas, they are publicly executed and their deaths are added to this number. Remember that Palestinian civilians are not allowed in bomb shelters. Remember that when Hamas receives free aid, they sell a small portion to civilians while primarily feeding their terrorist soldiers. So regardless of whether the number is inflated or not, you should be angry at Hamas for doing everything they can to make it higher.

"Feminism is about equality" uh-huh... 

Women and children are much more difficult to claim as "Hamas fighters". This makes it more difficult for Israel to claim they did not commit a war crime. I think that's the takeaway here.

The problem is the hamas government is treated as a reliable source because of the professional sounding agency names.

The engagement-based ad revenue business model is great for business but bad for journalism.

Headlines like this are what the far right uses to radicalize boys that no one cares about them. Whether reuters did this intentionally or not is unknown, but its insane to have the need to segregate data for death when boys are also dying.

“Let’s rework the number and make a new article!”

I'd say it's more odd to kill an average of 47 women and girls everyday

How is this cherry picking?

Idk if Reuters is bad or if people are too trusting of the hamas governments information. These news sites will cite hamas as education ministry, or health department or whatever official sounding title. But in reality, its hamas making shit up or greatly exaggerating the numbers.

How did they manage to not even reach the 1000 that Hamas did in a day, a single time, while “indiscriminately” bombing? Really makes me wonder if the whole thing was just propaganda garbage.

> Wake the f*** up. All the Palestinians do is bully and then play victim. The f***? This is some extreme generalisation. You sound like a huge racist.

Listnook doesn’t care about that

>This stat is more damning of how little Hamas cares about the Palestinians than anything else I mean you are asking a brutal terrorist organisation to simply not be? I agree with the sentiment but at the same time a LOT of this suffering is also due to the handling of not just this conflict but Israeli actions for 10s of years and they are a largely democratic, western funded 'modern' state, I expect them to not be comitting warcrimes and ethnically cleansing a population. and to be clear this doesn't mean hamas are not also horifically bad but in reality the Israeli government and Hamas deserve to all be put on trial.

'If she only wore a longer skirt, I wouldn't have assaulted her' This is how this sounds.

Do you really not think Israel is killing shitloads of civilians?

Hiding behind the women and girls perhaps.

If the title said male and female or people all the comments would have said, how many of them are hamas members

You are probably right and if this was the only instance the media does this it'd probably not draw as much ire but they do it for all sorts of mass casualty events. A boat full of migrants will capsize killing hundreds and the headline will still read "dozens of women and children killed". It just gets more clicks and sympathy so when it's used here one wonders if that was part of the reason or not.

Hamas has both child soldiers and female operatives

It was urban warfare in a densely packed Strip against terrorists who hide among civilians. "Think for f*** sakes" well there you go. 

\>THINK for f*** sake. Nah ima uno reverse that my dude. People are tired of feminist rhetoric, youd know that if you touched grass. This is simply a news article ragebaiting for engagement. Civilian casualties stats make the same point, with bigger numbers, and without having to manipulate the reader. But, again, less ad revenue in that. Money rules everything, THINK ffs

Indeed. Think. The question is, why. Why did this have to happen. to what extent is journalism even legal in Gaza. To what extent are these alleged 47 women and children liable. Think. Understand agency, and the motivations of people. Understand the actions of the actors of the ground. Think.

Because the bots on here will claim any male was a Hamas fighter. So calling out women and girls makes it far clearer that civilians were being killed so recklessly.
