But it does not even approach other humanitarian crises of recent decades, including those in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Sudan, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

不可否认，加沙的惨象是一场人道主义灾难。但它难以望近几十年来的其他人道主义危机之项背，包括民主刚果、苏丹、伊拉克和阿富汗等。事实上，自1982年以来，整个阿拉伯-犹太人/以色列冲突所造成的伤亡还比不上叙利亚在最近三年中所造成的多。1950年以来，阿拉伯-以色列冲突致死人数只排在所有冲突的第49位。
