For almost 500 days, Gaza has been subject to one of the most intense bombing campaigns in history. The extensive and widespread harm, largely caused by the use of explosive weapons in densely populated areas, has displaced 1.9 million of Gaza’s 2.1 million inhabitants and damaged more than 66 percent of Gaza’s structures.
The use of explosive weapons in the Occupied Palestinian Territories and Lebanon was so frequent that it was difficult in many cases to attribute civilian casualties to specific incidents of use, as required by the methodology for this data collection.
