On International Women’s Day, the Palestinian Ministry of Women’s Affairs says that more than 12,500 women have been kille, in addition to 21,193 women widowed, as a result of the Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip.

The ministry noted that 55% of the victims are women and elderly people.

Palestinian women suffer severe social and psychological hardships due to the Israeli war of extermination, facing daily struggles and deprivation of the most basic rights amid widespread silence and neglect of humanitarian crises in Gaza Strip.
