The chart below is taken from the September 18, 2024 UNOCHA update on the situation in Gaza. As you can clearly see, distinctions are clearly made between 4 categories, where the majority of Palestinians killed in Gaza by Israel are women, children, and the elderly. As such, the assertion that the “ministry of health does not distinguish between combatants and civilians” gives the misleading impression that the death toll is primarily composed of combatants, when in fact the majority are civilians.
