Very few outlets will show a graph of the casualties in Gaza nowadays.

But if you're interested in this beyond the propaganda angle here's a link to the casualties from the UN: https://unric.org/en/wp-content/uploads/sites/15/2024/04/Gaza_casualties_info-graphic_19_April_2024_1.pdf

Note how the graph is flattening. If this were a genocide, as the "perpetrators" gain control of more territory and eliminate enemy combatants you'd expect the casualties to increase (since there's no one there to protect people) not flatten out as we're seeing. Also note the Palestinian casualties being reported includes combatants (valid targets in a war) a support personnel (also valid targets in a war).

Also the UN has indicated there it's likely some casualties have been counted multiple times. It's a war after all, so we can't expect these numbers to be 100% accurate.

The numbers are consistent with similar urban combat operations elsewhere. Sadly, in these kinds of conflicts, civilians often bear the brunt, especially in conflicts where there's combatants that don't wear uniforms. Also, Israel was not prepared to handle humanitarian issues in a drawn out campaign like this because Israel generally doesn't do these kinds of campaigns. Hamas did know this war was going to occur well in advance but didn't prepare for helping their civilian population. One suspects that may be because Hamas benefits from the suffering of the Palestinian people.

Sorry for the interruption. Now back to your regularly scheduled TikTok propaganda.
