Israel has continued bombarding Gaza’s south despite telling 1.1 million people in the north of the besieged enclave to relocate there ahead of an expected ground offensive.
“We were displaced from Tal al-Hawa to Rafah at the request of the Israeli army, and this is what happened to us. My son is a 3-month-old martyr,” the father of a child killed in an attack in Rafah told Al Jazeera.

Yeah killing innocent children isn’t the solution to anything. Shameful shit that the Whitehouse supports this horror
shrugal ( @shrugal@lemm.ee ) 19•8 months agoThe EU just confirmed that they are fine with this as well. Apparently they see no problem as long as Israel says they are trying to hit terrorists. Un-f*cking-believable!

Absolutely disgusting in every way. War is the product of infantile minds and sick abusive hearts. These kids did not deserve to die for the stupidity and perverse beliefs of the adults surrounding them. Shame on Israel for this murderous atrocity and shame on Hamas for engaging in warlike acts of child murder as well. NO ONE is above blame for this horrendous show of inhumane and despicable sickness.

Pxtl ( @Pxtl@lemmy.ca ) English24•8 months agoDoes the UN or some other more neutral org have numbers? I mean, the Gaza Ministry of Health kinda has incentive to exaggerate civilian casualties, just like the IDF has incentive to say “everyone in that playground we hit with that airstrike was an Islamic Jihad Terrorist”.
TylerDurdenJunior ( @TylerDurdenJunior@lemmy.ml ) 5•8 months agoit is such a weird angle to take, since the Gaza concentration camp is shut off from the rest of the world, without power. Journalists are not allowed in, neither are any and all humanitarian organizations.
Until the apartheid state open up the Gaza concentration camp, we will just have to take their word for it.
When Israel makes any claims, the outside world can in one way or another visit, inspect and verify.
If Israel wants more certainty on statistics of innocent dead people, they should end their siege.
pascal ( @pascal@lemm.ee ) 3•8 months agoThe WHO released some concerning numbers.
I know Lemmists here don’t trust anything from WHO but that’s all I got.
timidgoat ( @timidgoat@lemmy.ca ) 1•8 months agoYou’re absolutely right that there will be variance, and that each side has incentive to inflate death counts, etc. Other orgs will likely not produce their own numbers until after this mess is over. Check the Wiki pages or B’Tselem pages on previous assaults on Gaza to see how the numbers can vary, that’ll give you an idea at least.
neotux ( @neotux@lemmy.ml ) 5•8 months agoIt is all and well within the limit of a “proportionate” response exercising the “right of selfdefence”! Wondering who decides where the limit goes.
Miczech ( @Miczech@lemmy.ml ) 3•8 months agoI’d be careful with using these numbers as they are difficult to verify and often come from Hamas themselves. That is not to dismiss lives lost but raise awareness about committing to accurate information.
