UN Under-Secretary-General for Women Sima Sami Bacchus on the humanitarian disaster in the Gaza Strip: Women and girls pay the highest price for conflict. Until October 7, 60% of all civilians killed in the occupied Palestinian territory over the past 15 years were men. And less than 14% were women and girls. Since then, that ratio has changed. Not only are the number of civilians killed since October 7 twice as many as in the last 15 years combined, now 67% of the more than 14,000 people killed in Gaza are estimated to be women and children. In other words, two mothers are killed every hour and seven women are killed every two hours. We mourn for them. Источник: Slavyangrad
