    Good comparison and data, but I’d like to point out that the leading stats are actually 16k civilians killed in Ukraine (and 46k injured), as per the source. While in Gaza there are 72k direct deaths and 172k injured (mostly civilians and 50% women and children)

    It’s disgusting how Western governments still approach one country with all possible sanctions, and the other is just business as usual (and finger wagging if we’re “lucky”).

      There are so many sources citing different figures, I just picked the one that is mostly used by media. Also, it is believed that the figures in Gaza are much higher than the figures that the data shows. But without proof, I didn’t/couldn’t link it.
