The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor (EuroMed) released information on the statistics of Israel’s genocide in Gaza in a report on 17 December.
According to the information submitted by the rights group, 25,612 Palestinians have been killed, including 10,091 children. The group added previously that 92 percent of those killed in the Israeli air and artillery attacks were civilians.
The report adds that 89 journalists have been killed, and over 50,000 Palestinians were injured.
The numbers include the thousands of Palestinians trapped under the rubble of buildings. Hundreds more remain unaccounted for but are likely to be trapped or injured in the streets, the report adds.

Other statistics provided by EuroMed include 1.85 million Palestinians who have been forcibly displaced and a combined 236,400 homes that have been either completely or partially destroyed.
This follows reports that have surfaced of Israel using so-called dumb bombs, which are typically less precise and kill larger numbers of civilians, especially in densely populated areas like Gaza.
EuroMed also called for an “urgent international investigation into the Israeli army’s liquidation of Palestinian civilians after their arrest from various areas of the Gaza Strip.”
The Geneva-based organization pointed to the testimonies revealed to Israeli media regarding “field executions carried out against detainees, while others died as a result of severe torture and ill-treatment during their detention.”
The organization referred to conditions in the Israeli army camp Sedeh Timan, which holds Palestinian prisoners, as being “transformed into a new Guantanamo prison in which detainees are held in very harsh conditions, inside places that are more like chicken cages in the open, and held without food or drink for a long period of time.”
Despite the reports coming out of the abysmal treatment of Palestinians, Israeli officials have also been increasing their aggressive rhetoric against the Palestinians in recent days, despite increased calls for an immediate ceasefire.
“After October 7, instead of urging people to go south, we should direct them to the beaches,” Metula Council head David Azoulai said. “The Navy can transport them to the shores of Lebanon, where there are already sufficient refugee camps. Then, a security strip should be established from the sea to the Gaza border fence, completely empty, as a reminder of what was once there. It should resemble the Auschwitz concentration camp.”
Earlier this month, the UN General Assembly (UNGA) adopted a non-binding resolution that demanded an “immediate humanitarian ceasefire” in Gaza during an emergency meeting.
