The reports of how many were killed are inexact, but everyone on all sides agrees that the number is between 1,166 and 1,417 Palestinians and 13 Israelis. There are more statistics to cite among the living: more than 400,000 people in Gaza were left without running water; 4,000 family homes were destroyed or so badly damaged the people couldn’t return; tens of thousands became homeless; eighty government buildings were bombed.
