The commission had insufficient information to render a finding on the membership of 18 of the other persons killed. b The commission’s estimate of 6,103 persons wounded by live ammunition at demonstration sites is based on its analysis of detailed data sets and electronic patient registry extracts collected separately from a large range of health-care providers in Gaza (including eight hospitals run by the Ministry of Health, six other hospitals, and several health-care and rehabilitation centres run by international non-governmental entities and organizations). Of these, the commission tracked and corroborated more than 300 incidents in which demonstrators were wounded by live ammunition. Some 134 of those shot were hit in multiple or other parts of the body. c Most injuries by shrapnel were the result of bullet fragmentation from live ammunition. A small number may also have been caused by metal fragments stemming from direct tear-gas canister hits. d One Israeli soldier was killed on a Friday while demonstrations were ongoing but outside the protest sites; see para. 91. e Incidents affecting journalists or other media workers investigated or corroborated by the commission. The total number is likely higher. See paras. 72–74. f World Health Organization, Attacks on health care in the Gaza Strip, January–December 2018. See paras. 69–71. 38. The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs has estimated that 23,313 Palestinians were injured by Israeli forces in the context of the demonstrations in 2018, including by tear-gas inhalation and canisters, contributing to the highest toll of injuries recorded in the Occupied Palestinian Territory since 2005.8 39. The commission focused on investigating incidents entailing the use of live ammunition. 8 www.ochaopt.org/content/2018-more-casualties-and-food-insecurity-less-funding-humanitarian-aid. 7
