This chart shows how many human beings were killed in the last 22 days in Gaza and Israel
A Palestinian man mourns at the morgue of a hospital in Rafah over the bodies of some of the nine members of the same al-Ghul family who were killed along with other Palestinians after their house was hit by an Israeli air strike on Aug. 3, 2014 in the southern Gaza Strip.
After more than three weeks of renewed violence between Israel and Hamas, more than 1,000 people have been killed. Some accounts put that number even higher. At least another 19 were killed Wednesday when Israeli missiles struck a UN school in Gaza. This conflict is just getting more and more grim as it drags on and on. This chart might help visualize the numbers killed in this most recent surge in violece. But if you want help understanding what this looks and feels like on the ground, see the photos that are too disturbing for most mainstream media outlets to publish.
