What does that look like?

If 40,000 people joined hands, standing apart, to form a human chain, they could surround the entire island of Manhattan.

Israeli attacks have killed more than 40,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip in the 320 days since October 7.
This includes almost 17,000 children. That’s 2.6 percent of all children in Gaza who are now dead.
At least 53 children have been killed every day since October 7, and 72 men and women are killed in Israeli strikes, every single day.
  • At least 10,000 are missing under the rubble, most of them presumed dead.

Madison Square Garden in New York City is a landmark indoor arena. Its total capacity is 19,500 people.
The number of people killed in Gaza would fill up Madison Square Garden twice.

If 40,000 people were standing tightly next to each other in Paris, the first person would be at Notre-Dame and the last would be in Versailles. The line would be 24 kilometres long.

Driving those 60 kilometres would take a sedan car driving at 50 kilometres per hour, 72 mins to pass the entire line. That’s more than an hour of drive time.
