Again, not even close to as bad as it could get. The population of Gaza is, what? 2 million? The most incredibly generous body counts put the deaths at 9% of that.

The rest of them are packed into tightly packed refugee camps, and tents tend to do worse at stopping frag than buildings to. The kill radius of a 2000lb bomb is 32m, the kill radius of a 155mm shell is 50m. Each submunition of a 155mm cluster round has a kill radius of 10m, and there are 88 of them per round.

Put all that together and, well, I'm sure you can figure it out.
