Study Finds Israel âDisappearedâ Nearly 400,000 Palestinians In Gaza
Half Of Them Children.
The study by a Ben Gurion University professor uses data-driven analysis and spatial mapping to highlight a severe decline in Gazaâs population since October 2023.
A new report published by the Harvard database reveals that Israel has âdisappearedâ 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 armyâs 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 Israelâs genocide are approximately 17 percent of the Gaza Stripâs entire population, which now stands at about 1.85 million. Prior to the war in Gaza, the stripâs 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) â a controversial US-Israeli aid distribution mechanism launched last month.
âThese aid compounds seem to reflect a logic of control, not assistance, and it would be a misnomer to call them âhumanitarian aid distribution hubsâ. They do not adhere to humanitarian principles, and much of their design and operation is guided by other objectives, which undermine their declared purpose,â 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 Israelâs 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 Israelâs assault on Gaza could lead to between 149,000 and 598,000.
US-backed Gaza aid sites risk fuelling chaos used to justify killings of Palestinians, report finds
A Harvard-linked report says US-backed Gaza aid sites are poorly placed, creating chaos later used to justify Israeli attacks on Palestinian civilians.
A new report published this month through the Harvard Dataverse reveals how the layout and inaccessibility of US-backed aid sites in Gaza contributed to deadly chaos and disorder, which was then used to justify the killing of Palestinian civilians.
Authored by Israeli professor Yaakov Garb, the report uses spatial analysis and data mapping to examine how Israeli attacks, movement restrictions, and the flawed placement of aid sites have fuelled civilian deaths.
Access, obstruction, and aid site design
The report also critically assesses the role of the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), arguing that its structure appears to have been shaped more by Israeli military strategy than by humanitarian needs.
Using location data and spatial analysis, Garb finds that most of Gaza's population could not reach GHF aid compounds.
These sites were largely inaccessible, cut off from the southern areas of Gaza by the Israeli-controlled Netzarim corridor. Their location inside declared "buffer zones" meant that civilians seeking aid had to enter areas formally barred to them by the Israeli army.
According to the report, poor infrastructure, lack of motorised transport, and a near-total absence of safe passage routes made access even more difficult.
Garb writes that the design and operation of the aid compounds "seems likely to be an engine for continuous friction and mishap", noting that the allocation model, providing rations for exactly 5.5 people for 3.5 days, effectively forced civilians to make repeated, dangerous crossings into militarised zones.
"The fact that four of the five compounds lie south of the Morag corridor - repeatedly indicated by Israeli officials as the intended destination for concentration of Palestinians to be displaced from the remainder of Gaza in an impending intensification of the military attacks - is not reassuring," the report warns.
No dignity, no protection
The report highlights that little to no measures were taken to protect the dignity or safety of civilians seeking aid. The sites lacked basic facilities such as shade, water, toilets, first aid stations, or dedicated access for vulnerable groups. There was typically only one entry and exit point, no crowd management, and scenes of chaos were common.
It also argues that the very architecture of these aid compounds was designed in a way that risked repeated outbreaks of disorder, conditions that were then used to justify violence against civilians.
"Overall, 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," the report concludes.
The report comes as Gaza's health ministry confirmed on Tuesday that at least 450 people have been killed and around 3,500 wounded since late May while trying to access humanitarian aid.
According to the ministry, most of those killed were struck near or on the way to GHF distribution sites backed by the United States. https://www.newarab.com/news/gaza-aid-sites-risk-chaos-used-justify-killings-report-says

The Abraham Shield: Israelâs New Blueprint for Regional Control After Gaza
From Gaza to Tehran, a multi-front strategy of surveillance, subcontracted occupation, and permanent containment.
A New Name for an Old Strategy
As the latest Gaza ceasefire teeters into effect and Trump pushes for Saudi-Israeli normalization, Israelâs security establishment has unveiled its next regional blueprint: the Abraham Shield Plan .
Framed as a utopian vision for Middle East stability, the plan is being sold as a solution to hostages, Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran all at once. Behind the think-tank language of âstabilityâ and âsecurity,â though, lies a familiar reality: a militarized, U.S.-backed strategy to consolidate Israeli control across Gaza, southern Lebanon, Syria, and the broader region.
Launched by a new Israeli lobbying group called the Coalition for Regional Security , the Abraham Shield lays out a multi-front containment architecture. It blends old toolsâairstrikes, blockades, occupationâwith new ones: technocratic governance models, digital surveillance, economic isolation, and transactional diplomacy with Arab states.
Tellingly, the planâs rollout isnât limited to quiet policy briefings. It has a polished website, billboard campaigns inside Israel, and polling data explicitly linking its goals to the Trump administrationâs return to power. Netanyahuâs government is now pairing the language of peace with the machinery of warâoffering hostage returns and regional diplomacy as the selling points for a project that, at its core, aims to redraw the map of the Middle East.
The US-Israel Plan to ISOLATE Iran, CONTROL Middle East, Rule Gaza Through Technocracy | Sarah Bils
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is set to return to the White House next week, amid reports that President Trump is âpressuringâ Israel to agree to a ceasefire with Hamas in Gaza. But as we just witnessed with Iran, the U.S. and Israel are always on the same team. Sarah Bils, Co-founder of DD Geopolitics, noted that the Israeli think tank behind the âAbraham Shield Planâ is giving insight into the broader U.S. foreign policy plan for the Middle East, which is presented as a âresponseâ to Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran, but in reality, itâs a âregional war doctrine in waiting, framed as stability but built for escalation.â - R.B.
