- The presentation is powerfully well executed and by itself alone is a worthy submission.
That every mouse movement highlights lives lost is harrowing. Grains of sand on the beach, each with their own world and community.
Shame on the flaggers.

- Experts agree that this number is a vast, vast undercount.
- The next step could be to attempt to link as many of these as possible to a news article describing the Israeli actions that led to their death, and/or stories about their lives. Obviously it will be hard to attribute most of them, but I think even hundreds of accounts would be powerful.

- The higher on the scale the people, the younger they are. This is depressing and completely unnecessary, this is cruel and still ongoing with the recent incursion in Lebanon.
It's insane that so many innocent people continue to die and Tsahal continues to justify their invasion and the death of these people. Heartbreaking.

- They’re in age order and age 15 starts at about a quarter of the way down.
Shame on the flaggers.
- Unsure why this comment merely copy pasting the summary of TFA is voted dead [0]. Perhaps this is how low the bar for "antisemitism" has fallen these days? Or is vote manipulation taking HN in the direction of /. and reddit?

This visual shows the names of 60,199 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces
in Gaza from 7 Oct 2023 to 31 Jul 2025. This staggering figure includes
only those whose names and ages could be identified by the Ministry of
Health in Gaza up to that date.

- The audio you hear when you open the website is from the record of one of the greatest Arabic and Palestinian Poet Mahmoud Darwish reading his poem "On This Land" (English translation here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FY_jtTj26Q0).
- Thanks for creating this, sad state of the world we live in.
I see babies there who have seen this world for less than a day!
I know they don't see things well at that stage, their eyes haven't evolved yet, BUT they weren't given an opportunity to see it!!!
Can't express myself anymore

- White text on a mostly white background is not really a good choice, especially if you want to communicate something important.
Kinda unrelated, but are any good sources for deaths in that whole conflict before the 7th October, including other areas? Throwing around that number does have some impact, but does not tell the whole picture and is often dismissed as being "just" a reaction to the attack on 7th October.

- These are the ones that we know the names of, there is at least this much of more people that we are not even aware
- Just asking as i dont know, what does the sound represent? prayer?
- Thank you for posting this. The visualisation is very powerful and the poem complements that power. It's standing in a virtual graveyard.

- Someone should create and post this kind of a website about Iran's protester deaths and see if it gets flagged too.
- One of the nice things I like about hn.algolia.com is that it doesn’t care about flagging.
If it’s voted or commented on, it bubbles up and gets sorted by a deterministic algo.
I think flagging is abused in HN as a form of censorship.

- That number is absolutely staggering, and the fact that at least 20,000 of these are children is literally making me sick every time I think about it.
To Israelis who think this is justified because your country was attacked - for every person killed in the initial attacks, your military has killed 20 children(and many more adults). And that's the ones that were outright killed, and not "just" had their limbs torn off and given lifelong disabilities. How is that proportionate, fair or in any way justifiable?
- What a great, and tragic, visualisation ... really brings it home.
EDIT: and pathetic that it's immediately been flagged by the usual wankers.

- This got flagged because genocide is too lowly a concern for the high, pure souls of HN.
Look, look sideways... until you break your neck.
- It really is an indictment of this site that any mention of the genocide in Gaza is flagged almost instantly.
- Murdered, intentionaly ,by a zionist genocidal terrorist state.

- This will get flagged again, like all the posts before it criticising the abhorrent actions of Israel.
The stranglehold of zionists in silicon valley and the US is crazy.

- @dang, please make sure this wont get flagged.
This might not be 100% technical content, but the work, visualizations are technical.
So many people upvoted because they have empathy to both types of content, and downvotes to this type of content comes most of the time from bots controlled by IDF

- @dang: Allowing the mass flagging of posts like that makes ycombinator complicit.
- This website was updated from personal page to this in a single commit. Suspicious
