We probably should keep a daily tally of those killed or starved to death, especially with the current assault on Gaza City where up to 1 million people live or maybe lived.

"UN chief Antonio Guterres said that famine in Gaza is “the result of deliberate decisions that defy basic humanity”.

Israel’s ongoing assault on Gaza City is levelling entire neighbourhoods, our correspondent on the ground reports, in an attempt to rid the city of its residents. Civil defence reports at least 1,500 homes have been destroyed.

Gaza’s Ministry of Health has recorded four starvation deaths over the past 24 hours, and at least 61 people have been killed in Israeli attacks on the enclave today alone, medical sources tell our team.

Israel has killed at least 62,966 people and wounded 159,266 in its war on Gaza. A total of 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks on October 7, 2023, and more than 200 were taken captive."

.... Israel acknowledged carrying out the attack, which killed 15 men: 14 rescue workers and a United Nations employee who drove by after the others were shot. Israeli soldiers buried most of the bodies in a mass grave, crushed the ambulances, fire truck and a U.N. vehicle, and buried those as well.

The Israeli military has offered shifting explanations for why its troops fired on the emergency vehicles and said, without providing evidence, that some of the dead men had been Hamas operatives. Israel’s military said it was investigating the killing..."

3. The video - How Israeli Soldiers Killed 15 Rescue Workers in Gaza Visual Investigations

It is about 15 long, a camera from a medic that was recording was recovered in the 'mass grave' they were buried in, but Israel denied this until video evidence surfaced.

5. Cross referenced this in the IP forum for anyone who thinks the daily deaths are important and want to contribute ...

I've thought this was needed for a while as the MSM barely covers it. CNN is replaying Live Aid tonight, seems appropriate.

I know our nation is being pulled apart, but at least we can still eat and speak out, others cannot and are being killed//bombed/starved while our government helps ... and many look away.
