Gaza death toll tops 5,000, nearly half of them children: Officials

www.aljazeera.com Gaza death toll in Israeli attacks tops 5,000, nearly half of them children

Children make up 40 percent of dead since Israel started bombing the enclave, according to Gaza’s Ministry of Health.

Israel has continued bombarding Gaza’s south despite telling 1.1 million people in the north of the besieged enclave to relocate there ahead of an expected ground offensive.

“We were displaced from Tal al-Hawa to Rafah at the request of the Israeli army, and this is what happened to us. My son is a 3-month-old martyr,” the father of a child killed in an attack in Rafah told Al Jazeera.

Where are all those people wailing about Hamas being monsters for killing babies? This should make them even angrier and louder.

Absolutely disgusting in every way. War is the product of infantile minds and sick abusive hearts. These kids did not deserve to die for the stupidity and perverse beliefs of the adults surrounding them. Shame on Israel for this murderous atrocity and shame on Hamas for engaging in warlike acts of child murder as well. NO ONE is above blame for this horrendous show of inhumane and despicable sickness.

1.67 "9/11"s worth of death, in retaliation for 0.47 "9/11"s worth of dead on Oct 7th.

Or, with 9/11= 2977 and the Iraq war killing 187,000 civilians, we get a ~63:1 misplaced retaliation vs. initial attack ratio. So the one could extrapolate from the 1400 dead on Oct 7th that 88,200 innocent people in Gaza will need to be killed to quench the IDF's rage.

Cryptofascists will cite dead children to justify slaughtering many times more children in retaliation, each and every time, because they see those that are killed in that retaliation as less than human.

Yeah killing innocent children isn't the solution to anything. Shameful shit that the Whitehouse supports this horror

If you live in USA or EU your government is ok with this

Genocide by Zionist criminals.

oh my fucking god

Does the UN or some other more neutral org have numbers? I mean, the Gaza Ministry of Health kinda has incentive to exaggerate civilian casualties, just like the IDF has incentive to say "everyone in that playground we hit with that airstrike was an Islamic Jihad Terrorist".

This gut wrenching. Fuck those in power responsible for this.

Humans once again going batshit crazy with mass murder riding on a wave of vengeance. It's a disease with no cure.

I’m honestly just so depressed.

It is all and well within the limit of a "proportionate" response exercising the "right of selfdefence"! Wondering who decides where the limit goes.

Work towards a bEtTer future I see..

I'd be careful with using these numbers as they are difficult to verify and often come from Hamas themselves. That is not to dismiss lives lost but raise awareness about committing to accurate information.

I might be cancelled for saying this but I think the response is somewhat disproportionate

according to Gaza’s Ministry of Health

As in, according to Hamas. I'm not going to defend Israel, but these "officials" have an agenda.

You won't hold the media you are invested in accountable for the manufacturing of consent for this, because they're the same ones that feed you your 'orange man bad' content. You'll give them a pass.

Muslims consider adulthood to begin with puberty, 15 years of age. It's not uncommon for Muslim military soldiers to be under 18. In the west, we consider anyone under 18 children.

It's still terrible and I'm not saying they're not children. I'm just pointing out that many of these children are legal adults and adult soldiers in their own culture.

Noo half are children their lives matter more click our article pls

This is straight up lie, Al Jazeera lie they're ass off. There are civilians who died but that's only because hamas uses them as human shield.

And after the horrors in Israel I don't give a fuck. We need to do anything to kill each and every one of those fucking monsters,

kidnapping a 9 month old babies, burning alive father and son hugging, which were barely identified,

Opening a pregnant woman, taking the infant out, kills him and shoot the mother in the head

rapping 10 years old kids fuck them!

We need to kill every one of them, scums of the earth

Edit: fuck you all down voters - terrorists supporters down vote all you want, see if a give a fuck
