In a heart-wrenching revelation, Gaza’s Ministry of Health has released a document containing the names and ages of Palestinians killed by Israel’s assault since the Hamas-led October 7 attack. The list, which runs 649 pages, is a stark reminder of the devastating impact of Israel’s U.S.-backed war on Gaza’s population, particularly children.
The List
The document, published to the health ministry’s Telegram account, is limited to those for whom Gaza officials had information—over 34,000 people—and the count stops on August 31. However, the current death toll, according to the ministry, is close to 42,000, but experts believe that figure is likely a gross undercount.
The list is a grim reminder of the human cost of Israel’s assault on Gaza. The first 14 pages of the document are filled with the names of babies, a stark illustration of the disproportionate impact of the war on Gaza’s most vulnerable population.
According to Gaza officials, children make up a third of those killed since October 7. This is a staggering statistic, and one that highlights the devastating impact of Israel’s war on Gaza’s future generation.
The list includes the names of children as young as a few months old, who were killed in Israeli airstrikes, artillery fire, and other attacks. Many of these children were killed in their homes, schools, and hospitals, places that are supposed to be safe and protected.
The Human Cost
The release of the list has sparked widespread outrage and condemnation, with many calling for an end to Israel’s assault on Gaza. The list is a stark reminder of the human cost of the war, and the devastating impact it has had on Gaza’s population.
The list also highlights the need for accountability and justice for the victims of Israel’s assault. The international community must take action to ensure that those responsible for these atrocities are held accountable, and that the people of Gaza receive the justice and compensation they deserve.
The release of the list has sparked a wave of international condemnation, with many countries and organizations calling for an end to Israel’s assault on Gaza. The United Nations has expressed its deep concern over the situation, and has called for an immediate ceasefire.
The European Union has also condemned Israel’s actions, and has called for a thorough investigation into the killings. The EU has also urged Israel to respect international humanitarian law, and to take all necessary steps to protect civilians.

As the situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate, it is imperative that the international community takes action to stop Israel’s assault and to protect the people of Gaza. The world must not turn a blind eye to the suffering of the Palestinian people, and must take all necessary steps to ensure that justice and accountability are served.
The people of Gaza deserve to live in peace and dignity, free from the fear of Israeli attacks and aggression. It is time for the international community to take action to make this a reality, and to bring an end to Israel’s assault on Gaza once and for all.
