A leading humanitarian law institute warns that Israel\u2019s genocidal war on the besieged Gaza Strip may have killed more than 200,000 people, as new data show the Palestinian territory\u2019s population has fallen by over 10 percent since October 2023.<\/p>\n
Tehran – IranView24<\/strong><\/p>\n The Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights said in a report that the death toll from Israel\u2019s genocide in Gaza may have exceeded 200,000, citing new figures showing a population decline of more than 10 percent since October 2023.<\/p>\n Stuart Casey-Maslen, head of the Academy\u2019s project on international humanitarian law, said such a dramatic drop suggests the loss of around 200,000 people, stressing that widely circulated casualty figures fail to capture the full scale of destruction.<\/p>\n His remarks appeared in the Academy\u2019s latest \u201cWar Watch\u201d report, which assesses conditions in Gaza alongside 23 other armed conflicts worldwide over the past 18 months.<\/p>\n Maslen described the situation in Gaza as \u201cextremely serious\u201d, warning that Palestinian suffering continues unabated even after a US-brokered ceasefire between the Gaza-based Hamas resistance movement and Tel Aviv.<\/p>\n \u201cEveryone in Gaza, especially the wounded who need safe evacuation and proper treatment, faces deeply concerning conditions,\u201d Maslen said, adding, \u201cPeople are still dying in Gaza.\u201d<\/p>\n He also called for an urgent expansion of humanitarian aid, emphasizing the need for food and clean water, secure shelter, protection from harsh weather, and access to medical care.<\/p>\n Although there is broad agreement that Israel has killed more than 70,000 Palestinians since October 2023, Maslen underscored that this figure reflects only bodies recovered and documented by medical teams.<\/p>\n Many victims, he added, likely remain buried under rubble beyond the reach of rescue crews, meaning the true death toll could be far higher than official counts suggest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A leading humanitarian law institute warns that Israel\u2019s genocidal war on the besieged Gaza Strip may have killed more than 200,000 people, as new data show the Palestinian territory\u2019s population has fallen by over 10 percent since October 2023.
