UN Reports Over 38,000 Women and Girls Killed in Gaza Conflict by 2025

The United Nations reports that over 38,000 women and girls have been killed in the Gaza conflict by the end of 2025, averaging at least 47 deaths daily. This accounts for more than half of the total estimated fatalities. The conflict, involving Israeli military operations and Hamas control, has also displaced around one million women and girls, severely limiting their access to essential healthcare services. Both sides have accused each other of ceasefire violations since October 2023.
