The ages most represented among the dead were five to nine-year-olds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>About 80% of victims were killed in residential buildings or similar housing, the agency added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report said the data indicates &#8220;an apparent indifference to the death of civilians and the impact of the means and methods of warfare&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gaza&#8217;s Hamas-run health ministry, whose figures the UN sees&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/articles\/cn49v0nzv3ko\">as reliable<\/a>, has reported a death toll of more than 43,300 people over the past 13 months. Many more bodies are believed to remain under the rubble of bombarded buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The health ministry said it obtained full demographic data for a majority of those killed and reported that children account for one in three of that number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UN Human Rights Chief Volker T\u00fcrk said in a statement that &#8220;this unprecedented level of killing, and injury of civilians is a direct consequence of the failure to comply with fundamental principles of international humanitarian law&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He cited the laws of distinction, which requires warring parties to distinguish between combatants and civilians, proportionality, which prohibits attacks where harm to civilians outweighs military advantage, and precautions in attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>T\u00fcrk called for a &#8220;due reckoning with respect to the allegations of serious violations of international law&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The IDF has previously told the BBC in response to criticism that it &#8220;will continue to act, as it always has done, according to international law&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report also said the way the warring parties have conducted the conflict in Gaza has &#8220;caused horrific human suffering&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The UN said Palestinian armed groups have waged war from densely-populated areas and indiscriminately used projectiles, likely contributing to the death toll, while the IDF has destroyed civilian infrastructure and &#8220;left many of those alive, injured, displaced and starving, without access to adequate water, food or healthcare&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The situation is worst in north Gaza, which aid groups say has been under siege since early October when Israel launched a new ground offensive against Hamas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The UN said no food aid entered the north during the first two weeks of October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This prompted the US to issue an ultimatum to Israel to increase aid by 12 November or risk losing some military support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jan Egeland, the head of aid organisation Norwegian Refugee Council, told the BBC on Friday that he saw &#8220;devastation, despair, beyond belief&#8221; on a recent visit to Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;There is hardly a building that is not damaged. And large areas looked like Stalingrad after the Second World War. You cannot fathom how intense this indiscriminate bombing has been on this trapped population,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s evident that it is first and foremost children and women who are paying a price for this senseless war,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Israel launched its current military offensive in Gaza after Hamas&#8217; attack on 7 October 2023 that killed 1,200 people in Israel and took 251 hostages back to Gaza.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nov 9 &#8211; The UN&#8217;s Human Rights Office has condemned the high number of civilians killed in the war in Gaza, saying its analysis shows close to 70% of verified victims over a six-month period were women and children.
