UN News: Israel-Palestine: Gaza death toll passes 5,000 with no ceasefire in sight
The number of people killed in Gaza has exceeded 5,000 according to latest reports from de facto authorities there, amid intensifying Israeli airstrikes in response to Hamas attacks, while humanitarians repeated urgent calls for a ceasefire and more aid convoys.
Echoing that message, UN health agency (WHO) chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus issued a new appeal on Monday for “sustained safe passage” for medical essentials and fuel to keep health facilities open.
“Lives depend on these decisions,” he insisted on social platform X. Latest media reports citing the Gaza Ministry of Health indicate that the number of people killed in Gaza since 7 October has risen to 5,087. Women and children have made up more than 62 per cent of the fatalities, while more than 15,273 people have been injured.

Very troubling.
King of Jordan's statement at the UN was noteworthy, I thought.
"IDF Airstrikes Mass Atrocity". That's rich.
The MASS ATROCITY was the invasion into Jewish Kibbutzim on Oct 7 by Hamas terrorists. Wherein they butchered 1400+ Israeli civilians. The Israeli retaliation was the point of the Hamas attack. Do things so inhuman to Jews so There would be no question of severe retaliation. Then force as many Gazan civilians as possible onto the top floors of every ammo bunker, weapons cache and command center Hamas has. Dare the Israelis to attack, then howl with fake self-righteousness when an IDF GBU levels the site. The Hamas males can then wag the bodies of dead children in front of the BBC and NYT. Driving the false narrative.
My empathy/sympathy well was sucked dry on 9/11/01. When I watched hundreds of Gazan woman and children chant and dance and celebrate the deaths of 3,000 Americans.
I've gotta agree , it's the kids my heart bleeds for. Everyone seems to gloss over Oct 7 . The usraelis drop noise makers, call residents, contact them on social media ..this isn't random carpet bombing , it isn't Dresden.
If l was Palestinian it wouldn't be the Israelis l wanted to kill,it would be hamas .
