Civilian victims in Gaza and Ukraine
It is not possible to compare different situations.
The war in Ukraine is essentially a conflict between armies. Of course,
civilians can be involved if they are in the war zones and are sporadically hit
by missiles and drones, most of which are intercepted. There are no aerial
bombings either.
In Gaza, there is an asymmetric war between a regular army and militants who
hide among the crowds, barely distinguishable from civilians: inevitably, most
of the casualties are civilians.
