    death toll has risen to at least 10,022 Palestinians, including 4,104 children, with many victims still trapped beneath the rubble and an Israeli siege drying up access to vital goods like fuel, food and electricity.

    “The number [death toll] is expected to go up as at least 2,000 people remain under the rubble. The problem is, with lack of heavy equipment and machinery, the rescue teams on the ground are unable to remove and pull out these bodies from under the rubble,”

    The number of those wounded since the October 7 start of the bombardment has risen to 25,408… a result of Israel’s indiscriminate bombardment of civilian homes, hospitals, refugee camps, and schools, said Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP), a United Kingdom-based organisation

    Running low on fuel supplies, 16 of Gaza’s 35 hospitals have been forced to suspend operations as the number of people wounded increases and the United Nations said that more than 1.5 million people, which is more than half of Gaza’s population, have been displaced.

      I can’t imagine the level of cognitive dissonance someone needs to justify this slaughter. Probably close to popping a blood vessel in their cranium.

        Well, you can always count on downpunxx to try and justify the ongoing genocide, or to deny it, or to just have the absolute worst take possible.

          I have a theory that downpunxx insane takes are to make other anti palestinian posters seem more moderate, and therefore have what they say more likely to be accepted.
