Israel adamant at erasing Gaza

A new report from the British medical journal, The Lancet, estimates that the death toll in Gaza could reach 186,000. The world may be shocked by this figure, but it seems harsh reality.

This new expert assessment is in line with the figures Ralph Nader has put forward earlier this year when he estimated as many as 200,000 have been killed by Israel in Gaza.

It must be kept in mind that bombs and bullets are not the only weapons that kill in war.

From the beginning, the Israeli occupation forces have weaponized hunger and disease by choking off food, electricity, and water. They have intentionally bombed and raided hospitals, set drones to take out ambulances trying to retrieve the wounded, and withheld or destroyed medical supplies.

Israeli forces have collapsed entire apartment buildings full of frightened families and continue to fire on schools.

When they forced the last Gazans into crowded, tent-city refugee camps in one tiny corner of the strip – they even bombed the tents.

It is known from the beginning that the death toll published by the Gaza Health Ministry (GHM) was lower than the real number.

The GHM numbers are simply the confirmed, recorded deaths documented in hospitals and morgues.

It is known that at every step, Israel has sought to decimate Gaza’s infrastructure and deny them the chance to survive by any means at all. We don’t have to guess at their intent – they’ve told us, repeatedly.
