Israel kills 9,000 women in Gaza since Oct 7: UN

United Nations, Mar 2 (UNI) Around 9,000 women have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza since the outbreak of the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestinians on Oct 7, 2023, said UN Women on Friday.
This figure is likely an underestimate, as many more women are reported to die under the rubble, said the UN agency committed to promoting gender equality and the empowerment of women.
Every day the killing in Gaza continues, while a daily average of 63 women continue to be killed at the current rate, including 37 mothers, leaving their families devastated and their children with diminished protection, said the agency.
