Gaza’s Health Ministry said Tuesday that Israeli attacks across the Strip killed at least 31 Palestinians and wounded 79 over the previous 24-hour period.
The ministry counts the casualties based on the number of dead and wounded that arrive at hospitals. “There are still a number of victims under the rubble and on the streets, and ambulance and civil defense crews cannot reach them,” the ministry wrote on Telegram.
Reuters reported that Israeli strikes on two separate areas of northern Gaza on Tuesday killed extended families in their homes. Palestinian medics said that at least 10 were killed by an attack on a home in a suburb of Gaza City.
In Beit Lahia, which has been under total siege since early October as part of an ethnic cleansing campaign, at least 15 people were believed to be killed or missing under the rubble following an Israeli airstrike. Rescuers were unable to access the site due to the siege of the city.
The medics told Reuters that at least 10 other Palestinians were killed by Israeli attacks in other parts of Beit Lahia and Gaza City. Beit Lahia’s Kamal Adwan Hospital also said Israeli forces targeted its electricity generators, oxygen network, and water tanks, endangering the lives of patients.
In southern Gaza, Israeli tanks entered the Mawasi camp, a so-called “safe zone” that has come under frequent Israeli attacks. According to Reuters, IDF soldiers forcibly displaced Palestinian civilians, blew up several houses, and burned down tents.
The Health Ministry said the latest violence brought its recorded death toll since October 2023 to 45,059 and the number of wounded to 107,041.
In October, a group of American healthcare workers who volunteered in Gaza estimated in an open letter to President Biden that the US-backed Israeli onslaught has killed at least 118,908 Palestinians, a total that includes indirect deaths caused by the Israeli siege. 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.
I wonder if other Americans are as ashamed of being ruled by Israelis as I am.
No Americans are not ashamed because America is not ruled by Israel or any other nation. Just because US polices align with some nations does not mean that America is ruled by those nations.
You're lying again.
Hells, many Canadians are embarrassed FOR you. That said, the ASI has lesser hooks into our gov't in Ottawa so we're in distantly similar straits.
I'm certain you'll get some idiot Apartheid State of Israel Apologist replying to you claiming the ASI DOESN'T have its hand up the USA's a-hey-hey-kids like a colorectal puppeteer.
”Come on people now! Smile on your brothers and sisters! Try to love one another! Right Now!”
Interesting photo. Does it look like any of the Palestinians are starving? If the Israel was truly out to commit genocide as some claim, why are they feeding the Palestinians?
What's interesting is your belittlement of the suffering these people are enduring. You talk as though if you don't see anyone other than people healthy enough to be walking through the streets, then there can be no starvation. Gaza depended on 500 aid trucks to get in before Oct 7th. That number has dwindled down to a fraction of that. It's impossible to NOT have starving people after a certain amount of time. Add to that the number of people who will, or already have, died because of poor health that makes them unable to fight off the diseases that run rampant because of the conditions. It's not like a light switch goes on and suddenly ALL the people are hollowed out corpses.
If the Israel was truly out to commit genocide as some claim, why are they feeding the Palestinians?
Before the election the US told Israel to allow 350 trucks per day to flow into Gaza within 30 days. That's 350, or at least 150 LESS than Gaza needed to survive before Oct 7th. And after 30 days what had Israel allowed in? Less than 40 per day. Of course, the US did nothing. So, what word would you think fits the description of what Israel is TRULY trying to do since it isn't genocide in your opinion? Is it something you'd want to hang your hat on?
Major Timbit Q. Burns is so monumental a liar and an idiot, that a full week can pass in these Comment sections where I can forget that D. Donald Julio once draped that huge crown over his own pin head with no peers in sight.
It's like the daily weather report:
There will be airstrikes across the Gaza strip today with the heaviest airstrikes happening in the northern section. Starvation will be widespread with the northern section again being the hardest hit. Deaths will range in the 50' and 60's and possibly as high as the 80's and 90's if clearing in the north continues.
"Starvation will be widespread" Do the people in photo look like they are starving to you?
So, unless everyone isn't starving, that means that no one is starving?
Major Burns has never condemned a single heinous act by the Apartheid State of Israel, against Palestinians.
Major Burns has never expressed sympathy or compassion for a single verified, demonstrable tragedy befallen a Palestinian person of any age.
Major Burns has never justified his position with insight into his reasoning or motivations.
He appears to be the sort of person that, while likely friendly and amicable in real life, vents their septic racism online the moment they are anonymous and removed from actual personal culpability for their words.
At least for us he serves as a barometer and weather-vane for our society's latent stupidity. He marks the low points, the bottom of the barrel of intellectual discourse.
