“Israel MUST open the borders and allow the United Nations to deliver supplies in sufficient quantities.”
“The United States, which has helped fund the Israeli military for years, cannot sit back and allow hundreds of thousands of innocent children to starve to death,” Sanders (Vt.) said in a statement. “As a result of Israeli bombing and restrictions on humanitarian aid, the people of Gaza are facing an unprecedented humanitarian disaster.”
Israeli forces have killed more than 30,200 Palestinians in Gaza—most of them women and children—while wounding over 71,300 others and displacing around 90% of the besieged enclave’s 2.3 million people. Children are now starving to death, and experts say adults, especially elders and other vulnerable people, will soon follow absent urgent intervention.
I see.
So you think it is unfair to question the numbers, and that we should blindly accept the Gaza health ministry numbers as authoritative and exact?
This despite the fact that the organization reporting these numbers is led by people appointed by one of the participants/instigators of the conflict? Not to mention the fact that there has been a shift in methodology for counting, and that this conflict is happening on a drastically different scale.
