Harvard Study: Israel ‘Disappeared’ Almost 400,000 Palestinians in Gaza, Half of Them Children

Harvard Study: Israel ‘Disappeared’ Almost 400,000 Palestinians in Gaza, Half of Them Children

Posted by Internationalist 360° on June 24, 2025

The Cradle

A new report by Harvard University has confirmed what opponents of Israel’s genocide in Gaza have always known: that the number of people murdered by Israel in Gaza far exceeds the official death toll and that Israel’s propaganda attempts to discredit even the official toll as exaggerated are a shameful lie.

A new report published by the Harvard database reveals that Israel has “disappeared” at least 377,000 Palestinians since the start of its genocidal campaign against the Gaza Strip in 2023.

Half of this number is believed to be Palestinian children.

The report was written by Israeli professor Yaakov Garb, who used data-driven analysis and spatial mapping to show how the Israeli army’s siege of Gaza and indiscriminate attacks on civilians in the enclave have led to a serious drop in its population.

The 377,000 Palestinians who are unaccounted for due to Israel’s genocide are approximately 17 percent of the Gaza Strip’s entire population, which now stands at about 1.85 million. Prior to the war in Gaza, the strip’s population was estimated at 2.227 million.

While some are displaced or missing, a significant number are believed to have been killed by Israeli forces, according to the report.

The professor notes that the official death toll of 61,000 is clearly an underestimate, as victims who remain trapped under rubble are not included.

Garb also condemned in the report the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) – a controversial US-Israeli aid distribution mechanism launched last month.

“These aid compounds seem to reflect a logic of control, not assistance, and it would be a misnomer to call them ‘humanitarian aid distribution hubs’. They do not adhere to humanitarian principles, and much of their design and operation is guided by other objectives, which undermine their declared purpose,” he said.

The UN has accused GHF of being designed to further the forced displacement. Since it began operations, GHF has led to the deaths of hundreds of Palestinian aid seekers by Israeli forces.

The Harvard report is not the first indication that the death toll in Gaza could, in fact, be significantly higher than reported.

The Lancet medical journal released a study in January this year revealing that the death toll from Israel’s genocide in Gaza was most likely undercounted by 41 percent in the first nine months of the war.

The January study highlighted that around 59.1 percent of those killed were women, children, and elderly.

The year before, in July 2024, The Lancet said Israel’s assault on Gaza could lead to between 149,000 and 598,000.


NB: Laith Marouf remarks in the video below that the figure of 377, 000 documented in the Harvard Study does not include the over 60,000 civilians whose bodies have been found buried under rubble.

    The carnage and murder are biblical. And that being the case, maybe we will add a last chapter to that ancient book and call it “The Book Of Consummation”. In it, we will recount the actual and TOTAL destruction of the “Israelites” by the REAL children of the Creator. The latter, having reverted to pure satanism, attempted to exterminate the Gentiles and were finally noticed and put to the sword for their unforgivably wicked deeds.

    Zionist fronts like the Henry Jackson Society claim that the reported civilian death-tolls are Hamas propaganda and easily exposed by mathematical analysis.
    “Holocaust Denial” – sauce for the goose, but not the gander?
    Or: When is a genocide not a genocide? When its accusers suffer from the 4000-year old Gentile mental illness known as “antisemitism”.
