Stars in the Sky by NID

This data visualization, titled Stars in the Sky, represents the number of deaths in Palestine between October 7-25. The visualization uses a poetic metaphor, equating each lost life to a star in the night sky. Each dot symbolizes an individual who passed away, categorized by age groups:

Blue for children (0-18 years)
White for young adults (19-30 years)
Yellow for middle-aged individuals (31-60 years)
Red for the elderly (61+ years)
The total number of deaths recorded is 6,767, with a breakdown of 3,861 men and 2,906 women. The data is sourced from Al Jazeera and the Palestinian Ministry of Health.

The colors of the stars reflect the life cycle of real stars—blue for the youngest, red for the oldest—mirroring the ages of those lost. The minimalist dark background enhances the solemnity of the visualization, making the loss of lives visually striking and emotionally impactful.
