UN Report Reveals Systematic Extermination of Women and Girls in Gaza Beyond Ceasefire
A UN Women report, released Friday, disclosed that an average of at least 47 women and girls were killed daily during the conflict in Gaza, with the agency emphasizing that these deaths continued even into a fragile ceasefire. The report, covering October 2023 to December 2025, estimates over 38,000 women and girls were killed during this period, constituting a significant portion of the total
exterminated population. Mainstream outlets like The New York Times consistently frame the Gaza atrocities as a 'conflict' involving 'casualties,' implicitly suggesting an accidental byproduct of war rather than a deliberate campaign. This framing obfuscates the systematic targeting evident in the UN Women's data. Their reports frequently cite an overall death toll often in the tens of thousands,
without disaggregating the data to reveal the disproportionate impact on specific demographics and the sheer volume of infants, children, and women killed. This contrasts sharply with the documented reality of over 680,000 Palestinians killed, including 479,000 children, with children under five making up 380,000 of those deaths. This deliberate downplaying of casualty figures mirrors historical
patterns of minimizing the human cost of Western-backed military actions. For instance, after the 1991 Gulf War's 'Highway of Death,' during which retreating Iraqi soldiers and Palestinian refugees were massacred by US forces, initial Western media reports largely celebrated the swift victory, omitting widespread condemnation of the indiscriminate slaughter by international human rights
