Gaza is currently experiencing its longest communication blackout since the Israeli operation began in October.
Between October 7 and December 15, approximately 18,800 Palestinians have died, 70% of whom were women and children. The death toll includes over 300 health sector workers, 86 journalists, 135 employees of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, and around 35 civil defense crews. In addition, more than 51,100 people have been reportedly wounded, with many others unaccounted for.
The report further states that out of 36 hospitals in the enclave, only eight are partially functional. Occupancy rates in inpatient departments have surged to 206%, while intensive care units are operating at a staggering 250% capacity.
Dude, I am this 🤏 close to being banned in another community for daring to say that the current event is a genocide of palestinians.
I’m not denying anything, let alone for the sake of convenience. I’m not apathetic. All I’m saying is, is that the current numbers are probably not completely accurate.
I also explicitly said that the current estimate is probably not far off.
The only way they’re not accurate is through underestimation. The official figures exclusively count verified recovered bodies. Unidentified bodies, those still under the rubble, and the dead who cannot be processed by the medical system are not counted. That same medical system that was utterly destroyed by Israel. All evidence points to the official figures being a gross underestimation. After taking all precautions and publishing only the most conservative, verifiable numbers with names backing each one, westerners claim based on propaganda alone that the casualty figures are an overestimation.
We don’t need to be parroting genocidal apologia from Joe Biden and the imperialist machine.
Yeah. Definitely place sole blame on hamas instead of the people intentionally bombing civilians.
