Gaza’s Health Ministry said Monday that Israel’s assault on the besieged territory killed another 16 Palestinians in the previous 24-hour period.
The latest killings bring the recorded death toll in Gaza since October 7 to 40,988. Another 94,825 people have been wounded.
Israeli strikes were reported across Gaza, including several attacks on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza that occurred overnight Sunday into Monday. One strike on a house in Nuseirat killed three people and wounded seven more.
Another attack on the al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza killed at least four Palestinians. Al Jazeera reported a strike in the southern city of Khan Younis killed at least one person.
On September 5, Gaza’s Media Office released figures on the number of women and children who have been killed. It said the Israeli campaign had killed 16,715 children and 11,308 women since October 7.
Despite the massive child death toll, the Biden administration continues to support the genocidal slaughter in Gaza with arms shipments. An Israeli Air Force official recently acknowledged that without US military aid, Israel wouldn’t have been able to sustain operations in Gaza for more than a few months.
The numbers from Gaza’s Health Ministry and Media Office are considered a low estimate since they don’t include Palestinians who are missing and presumed dead under the rubble, which has previously been estimated to be about 10,000 people.
It’s also unclear how many people have died in Gaza due to indirect causes. A letter written by a group of experts recently published in the British medical journal The Lancet estimated the total number of deaths in Gaza, including those killed by the Israeli military and indirect causes, could reach 186,000. They reached the numbers by using the death toll from the end of June, which was 37,396.
The US is sending “aid,” as if it’s helping someone.
“The US contributed arsenic aid to ensure plenty were poisoned.”
Who introduced polio into Gaza? It was eradicated there many years ago. So, of course Israel is now hot to trot to have some Palestinians vaccinated so as to not have the virus transmitted to their brave IDF soldiers doing their jobs of killing more Palestinians.
Poliovirus has never been “eradicated” anywhere, and there was no need for anyone to “introduce” it to Gaza.
West Bank is being rapidly annexed, now. It’s hard to justify any of it. West Bank had nothing to do with Oct 7.
The innocent will be there, to remind those who are guilty of such heinous crimes against humanity…
Don't forget the standard reply:
The Israeli military claimed the strike targeted “significant” members of Hamas but offered no evidence for the claim and has so far not released the names of the people it claims it targeted.
Palestinians are told to move from one shooting zone to another. Israel and the U.S. call them "safe zones".
