An independent charitable organisation, Oxfam, has said the daily death toll of Palestinians in Israel’s war on Gaza surpasses that of any other major conflict.

An independent charitable organisation, Oxfam, has said the daily death toll of Palestinians in Israel’s war on Gaza surpasses that of any other major conflict in the 21st century.

“Israel’s military is killing Palestinians at an average rate of 250 people a day, which massively exceeds the daily death toll of any other major conflict of recent years,” Oxfam said in a statement.

The international aid organisation provided a list of the average daily death tolls in various conflicts since the turn of the century: 96.5 in Syria, 51.6 in Sudan, 50.8 in Iraq, 43.9 in Ukraine, 23.8 in Afghanistan, and 15.8 in Yemen.

It said the lives of Palestinians in Gaza are at risk due to hunger, diseases and cold, as well as Israeli bombardments, and reiterated that only 10 percent of the needed food can enter the enclave.
