Occupation &
Its Human Cost

The human cost of occupation is staggering. Between 2000 and 2025, over 60,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces. The vast majority are civilians, including 17,000+ children killed in Gaza since October 2023 alone.

Israel operates the world’s only military court system for children. Over 9,000 Palestinians are currently held in Israeli prisons — many without charge or trial. Since 1967, 800,000+ Palestinians have been imprisoned, representing 40% of the male population at some point.
