Deep dives
The Human Cost of Ongoing Conflict in Gaza
The current situation in the Gaza Strip remains dire, with the official death toll exceeding 40,000, as reported by Gaza's health ministry. This figure does not account for many missing individuals assumed to be dead under the rubble, nor does it include indirect deaths resulting from a severe lack of healthcare and nutrition. Reports indicate instances of Israeli soldiers killing unarmed Palestinians and bulldozing their bodies to evade reporting, further complicating the true assessment of casualties. This ongoing violence is exacerbated by the substantial military support provided by the United States to Israel, which includes 50,000 tons of weapons since the latest conflict began.
