#memory _ Nov., 2025, ‘Middle East Monitor’: “A devastating new study has found that more than 112,000 Palestinians have been killed in the Gaza Strip”

«A devastating new study has found that more than 112,000 Palestinians have been killed in the Gaza Strip since Israel launched its assault in October 2023. This figure, drawn from the most extensive demographic analysis conducted to date, far exceeds the official death toll and reveals a pattern of killing that researchers say mirrors past genocides documented by the United Nations.
«The study, carried out by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Germany and the Centre for Demographic Studies Spain, was published in the peer-reviewed journal ‘Population Health Metrics’. The researchers estimate that between 99,997 and 125,915 Palestinians died in Gaza between 7 October 2023 and 6 October 2025, with a median estimate of 112,069.
«The findings are based on a wide range of data sources, including hospital records, household surveys and public death notices, and take into account the thousands of unregistered deaths caused by families being buried under rubble or unable to reach medical care.»

Previously, in July 2024, ‘The Lancet’ had suggested that «it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186, 000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza»: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(24)01169-3/fulltext

MEM: «the true death toll of the Gaza conflict could be over 186,000, accounting for 8 per cent of Gaza’s population»: https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20251126-with-over-112000-killed-new-study-links-gazas-massacre-to-past-genocides/

Maybe the more accurate article on the topic is this one, by Daniel Tester (Feb. 25th, 2026): https://www.middleeasteye.net/explainers/genocide-gaza-how-many-palestinians-did-israel-kill

It also reveals that «in August 2025, +972 Magazine reported figures from a classified Israeli military intelligence database [saying] that fewer than 9,000 Palestinian fatalities had been identified as alleged Hamas fighters. / At that time, the ministry in Gaza had recorded at least 53,000 fatalities, suggesting that 46,000 – or 83 percent – of those Palestinians killed were civilians.»

This, to me, means that –every 100 individuals– the genocidal State slaughtered an average number of 83 innocents in order to eliminate 17 members of the Resistance.

The president of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Mirjana Spoljaric Egger says the destruction in Gaza represents a collapse of all international standards

The Red Cross: What we have seen in Gaza exceeds all legal, ethical, moral and humanitarian normsThe president of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Mirjana Spoljaric Egger, has warned that the destruction in Gaza represents a collapse of all international standards. “What we have seen in Gaza exceeds all legal, ethical, moral and humanitarian norms,” she stated in an interview with Dutch newspaper NRC, this week.

Spoljaric Egger said that Gaza illustrates the rapid deterioration of international humanitarian law. “Gaza may have provided the most tangible evidence of the erosion of international law,” she explained. “I visited Gaza twice within twelve months. The hostilities never stopped. There was not a minute when you didn’t hear gunfire. When your body did not feel the shelling.”

Spoljaric Egger recalled that on her return visit, she no longer recognised the area: “I could no longer orient myself. The first time, individual buildings were attacked. Every neighbourhood was hit, but not completely destroyed. When I returned, nothing was left.”

During the interview, Spoljaric Egger described the killing of 15 ICRC colleagues in Gaza, whose ambulance was struck by Israeli fire. “It was difficult to look at the photos of that event. More than difficult, I couldn’t look at them; I’m devastated. Perhaps also because I saw my colleagues there working during the hostilities. This is something that should never have happened.”

On the legality of the military campaign, Spoljaric Egger said: “We cannot accept warfare that leads to this situation.”

When asked about Israel’s claim of acting in self-defence, she responded: “That is no excuse for breaking the law. You have the same situation in your national legal system. When someone murders a member of your family, that does not give you the right to kill their family members. That is simply not how it works. It is exactly the same principle.”
