It is absurd and disheartening how nations going to war only prepare to fight but fail to plan for casualties during war situations.
You see one thing we cannot put a price to is the cost of human life that is wasted now and then during war situations.
The leaders of Israel and Palestine are busy unleashing their war power, killing each other but one thing they are not giving thought to is the safety of their people.
Every time you hear about a war either between two countries or different religions, just know that beyond what hear in the news, many lives have been lost.
In most cases, civilization, source of livelihood, and homes are destroyed, while innocent people are made to die for a senseless cause.
In the case of the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, data shows that nothing less than 10,858 lives have been lost in 2023.
According to the United Nations (UN), Palestine has recorded a total fatality level of 9,485 while Israel has about 1,400 and the number keeps rising.
The number of recorded Palestine with injury is 24,173 while those injured in Israel are 5,400.
