Israel has killed around 1.8% of Gaza’s population since October 7 amid a devastating war on the enclave, according to figures released by the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) on Sunday.

In a statement, the bureau said more than 39,000 people have been killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza over the past ten months.

“This constitutes around 1.8% of the total population in the territory,” it added.

According to the bureau, around 24% of the Palestinian victims in Gaza were young people.

The figures also showed that famine has killed 34 people in Gaza, with around 3,500 children at risk of death due to malnutrition and food shortages.

According to the bureau, around 70% of the injured people in Gaza are women and children, while some 10,000 people are still missing and around two million have been displaced.

It said 620 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire in the occupied West Bank.
