The Israeli military killed at least 710 Palestinian babies before they made it to their first birthday, the equivalent of two infants under one-year-old killed by Israel every day for nearly a year. That’s according to a 649-page document published by the Ministry of Health in Gaza on Sunday listing the names of tens of thousands Palestinians killed by Israel between October 7 and August 31.

A brief breakdown of the numbers killed:

Babies (Less that one year old): 710

Toddlers, 1-3: 1,793

Children, 4-12: 5,410

Children, 13-17: 3,442

Total number under 18 years old killed: 11,355

Men, 18-40: 10,396

Women, 18-40: 4,540

Men, 41-59: 3,341

Women, 41-59: 1,757

Men, 60 and over: 1,818

Women, 60 and over: 1,137

While the Biden administration, Israeli authorities, and others have repeatedly cast doubt on the health ministry’s figures, those numbers have proven accurate in past conflicts. Both the United Nations and even Israel’s intelligence services have accepted them.

    The deaths aren’t equally distributed over time though. The number of deaths due to violence have only slightly increased over the last couple of months. Most people were killed during the first three months or so.

      Counting has become far more difficult because israel has destroyed all hospitals in Gaza. Because israel is a terrorist state.

      Rather than the amount of Palestinians killed decreasing the amount of uncounted murdered Palestinians has increased.
