Gaza’s Health Ministry said Tuesday that Israeli attacks killed at least 50 Palestinians and wounded 110 in the previous 24-hour period amid Israel’s ethnic cleansing campaign in northern Gaza and its continued strikes across the Strip.
The Palestinian news agency WAFA reported that at least eight Palestinians were killed by an Israeli strike on a residential building in Beit Lahia, one of the northern cities that have been under a total Israeli siege since early October as part of the ethnic cleansing campaign.
In central Gaza, Israeli strikes hit the Nuseirat and Bureij refugee camps, killing at least four Palestinians. Al Jazeera reported that Israeli shelling in Nuseirat killed an infant.
Gaza’s Health Ministry said the latest violence brought its death toll since October 2023 to 43,972 and the number of wounded to 104,008. Separately, Gaza’s Government Media Office said out of the 43,972 confirmed deaths, 17,492 were children.
The Media Office said 825 children under the age of one had been killed by Israel, and 211 newborns were born and killed during Israel’s genocidal war. It warned that 3,500 children are currently at risk of dying of malnutrition.
The death toll from the Health Ministry is considered a low estimate since it doesn’t account for the Palestinians who are missing and presumed dead under the rubble.
In October, a group of American healthcare workers who volunteered in Gaza estimated in an open letter to President Biden in October that the US-backed Israeli bombing campaign and siege have killed at least 118,908 Palestinians, including over 60,000 who have starved to death. Dr. Feroze Sidhwa, who led the letter, told Antiwar.com in a recent interview that the estimate was the bare minimum they came up with by looking at the available data.
"The US-backed !sraeli bombing campaign" Is a nice touch
And it should be used every time Israel attacks someone. Just like how "Iranian backed" precedes anything that the Houthis, Hamas, Hezbollah and the militias in Syria do.
I wonder how long it will be before the US government has to start paying out reparations checks to the survivors of the Gaza holocaust?
Forever.
"It warned that 3,500 children are currently at risk of dying of malnutrition." That was yesterday. How many more today?
Israel and its "leashed dog" the USA have already lost this war, regardless of what happens from here on in! Like Americans and Jews are fond of saying – "We will not forget!"- The world will NEVER forget the gruesome and grotesque mass murdering campaign Israel has waged against innocent defenseless civilians, all the while "justifying" it on the basis that "Hamas operates within civilian spaces". Personally, I will never be satisfied until all the warmongers of this world, in leadership positions, are tried for war crimes and locked away FOREVER!
How many Palestinian lives, equals one Israeli life?…
Children born today will still be grossed out by grotesque Israeli barbarians. at this measly kill rate,
