The UN agency for women says more than 28,000 women and girls have been killed in Gaza since Israel’s offensive in the enclave began in October of 2023, Al Jazeera reports.
“That is one woman and one girl on average killed every hour in attacks by Israeli forces,” UN Women said in a statement. “Among those killed, thousands were mothers, leaving behind devastated children, families, and communities.”
The group reiterated its call for an immediate ceasefire, the release of all Israeli captives and the “immediate restoration of unhindered humanitarian access”.
