The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs pretends to be even-handed. Its daily reports from Gaza dutifully include the number of Israelis killed on October 7 as well as during the war along with its parroting Hamas statistics (attributing them to "GMO," or "Gaza Media Office."
But it is only an exercise to forestall criticism, not an indication that the UN cares about Israeli lives.
We can see that from this part of the infographic, on the very top:
What is missing from this infographic?
The 128,000 Israelis who are displaced from their homes from this war.
67 communities in Israel have been emptied both near Gaza and near the northern border.
I have yet to see a single mention of that by the UN, or any so-called human rights group. If there have been articles in the international media about them since October, I haven't seen them.
Certainly, the displaced Israelis don't have as dire a situation as the displaced Gazans. But it is still a large number of people, and they certainly suffer.
But they don't rate even mentioning in UN statistics from the war.
It isn't a mystery why that is.
