Updates: Israel kills 61 in Gaza, UN chief slams 'deliberate' famine - reposting from GD

Sad to think we might need to keep a daily log of the dead, link below from GD.

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."
