The Euro-Med Monitor for Human Rights reported that three years of what it terms Israeli "genocide" in the Gaza Strip have resulted in over 10,000 Palestinian children losing at least one leg. The Geneva-based organization released an infographic on Sunday detailing the toll since October 2023, stating that 9 out of 10 civilian casualties are killed. The report asserts that Israel continues to commit "genocide in various forms" in Gaza, despite a ceasefire agreement that has been in effect since October 2025.
According to the Euro-Med Monitor, 13% of Gaza's 2.4 million residents have been killed, injured, disappeared, or arrested. Children constitute 30% of these victims, and women 20%. The Palestinian Ministry of Health stated that Israeli actions have led to 74,377 deaths and at least 175,398 injuries. The Euro-Med Monitor added that several thousand individuals have suffered limb amputations or permanent disabilities, with over 10,000 children losing at least one leg and 21,000 children among 40,000 people expected to face long-term disabilities or require rehabilitation.
The organization documented 12,000 arrests over the three-year period, with 2,700 individuals still detained or forcibly disappeared. Interviews with 100 released detainees revealed 42 types of torture and inhumane treatment in Israeli prisons, including rape, sexual assault, and electrocution.
Furthermore, the report highlights widespread psychological trauma affecting all Gaza residents, severe food insecurity, and a 98% reduction in daily per capita water access due to infrastructure destruction. Environmentally, Israel has destroyed 3 million trees, 85,000 dunams of orchards, and 8,700 agricultural wells. The third anniversary of the alleged genocide coincides with the first anniversary of the ceasefire, during which Israel allegedly committed 5,474 violations, maintained its blockade and starvation tactics, and arrested 203 Palestinians, according to the government media office. International estimates place the cost of recovery and reconstruction at approximately $71.4 billion.
