 the thing i keep wondering as i see these mondoweiss genocide numbers is, how many are under the rubble and are yet to be counted;


Casualties:

  • 26,083 killed* and at least 64,487 wounded in the Gaza Strip.
  • 387+ Palestinians killed in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem
  • Israel revises its estimated October 7 death toll down from 1,400 to 1,147.
  • 556 Israeli soldiers killed since October 7, and at least 3,221 injured.**

*This figure was confirmed by Gaza’s Ministry of Health. Some rights groups put the death toll number at more than 33,000 when accounting for those presumed dead.

** This figure is released by the Israeli military.

Key Developments

  • ICJ orders Israel to prevent acts of genocide in Gaza and report back to the court in a month, but stops short of calling for an immediate ceasefire.
  • The ruling is nonetheless viewed as a “decisive victory for international law” by South Africa, which brought the case forward to the international court.
  • Far from the halls of The Hague, Israeli forces kill 183 Palestinians in the span of 24 hours, including at least 20 who were shot at while trying to get humanitarian aid in Gaza City.
  • As Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis lies besieged for the fifth consecutive day, the Gaza Ministry of Health warns that it had now run out of food, anesthetics, and painkillers.
  • Palestinian Civil Defense forecasts torrential rain and strong winds in coming days, which a U.N. official says will render Gaza “completely uninhabitable.” ............more..........
