Here we have a war. You cannot compare the two, not to mention the 31k number being unhinged from any credible source.
It was called the Kosovo war. Why can we not compare the two? They seem VERY comparable to me.
But if Wikipedia and Al Jazeera are not good enough for you then you will see the following orgs also posted these numbers: NPR [0], BBC [1], NYTimes [2]. And if your worried those numbers are inflated there is an article in the Lancet that shows if anything it is the opposite [3].

I have, from the UK, seem zero presence of any war in 2024.
Seen plenty of what looks like vile and indescrimate killing of random civilians by Israel.
Is the war the one that's killing multiple aid volunteers, or something else?
It's not a war though.
Unfortunately every day in Gaza since has been as horrific, or more horrific.
Indescriminately killing and starving an entire population and destroying the surrounding infrastructure is not warfare.
The actions described in the linked article make this clear.
That figure was corrected a number of months back to 1.2k was it not. The most accurate figure I've seen stated is 11,600, although it doesn't seem to be in widespread use, although the 1,200 figure is often caveated.
The total isn't all civilians. No official figures have been released on the split is my understanding.
It's also not clear how many are attributable to Israel's response, but it's clearly non-zero and may well be a significant proportion.
