Israel’s genocide erased over 2,700 families in Gaza
Over the past two years, more than 2,700 families, spanning three generations, have been completely wiped out in Gaza in Israel’s genocidal assault, according to the Gaza Civil Registry.
While Israel has targeted at least 40,000 families, more than 6,000 have been left with only a single surviving member after the rest were killed.
These killings are the result of sustained military operations that have erased entire households, a reality many have described as, “This is what genocide looks like.”
UN Special Rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories Francesca Albanese said she was not sure the magnitude of the devastation was fully understood, stating that “this was the result of a deliberate policy, pursued with full knowledge of its consequences,”
“This is not war. It is genocide,” she asserted.

Hanan Ashrawi, a prominent Palestinian politician and activist, said, “This is beyond human endurance,” asking, “When will Israel stop? When will it be held to account?”
Meanwhile, the Government Media Office alleged that Israel has committed 1,300 violations of the ceasefire in the past 100 days, leading to hundreds of Palestinian deaths and more than a thousand injuries.
Israel’s genocidal assault since October 7 has killed at least 71,660 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured more than 171,000 others.
The Israeli aggression has also forcibly displaced nearly two million people across the Gaza Strip, with the vast majority driven into the densely overcrowded southern city of Rafah near the Egyptian border, in what has become Palestine’s largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.
