today, there are people in shock/disbelief over an article in The Lancet that conservatively estimates the death toll in Gaza to be 186,000+ Palestinians (8% of Gaza) > https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(24)01169-3/fulltext
For those who've been paying attention, and getting information beyond mainstream/biased sources, this is not a shock. It is a very conservative estimate.
The Electronic Intifada published a piece by Susan Abulhawa on 27 June that presented a credible case for a similar death rate >

The Lancet (an independent medical journal with a solid global reputation) has stood up, and spoken up. More organisations and publications need to do the same.
Pressure needs to be put on the state of Israel to cease their brutal campaign in Palestine and the West Bank: which includes massacres, torture, designed starvation, ethnic cleansing, destruction of resources and land, expanded settlements, and genocide in Palestine.
The apartheid regime of Israel continues to break international laws and countless human rights. The world helped to dismantle apartheid South Africa. Now it needs to dismantle apartheid Israel.
Free Palestine, from the river to the sea 🍉 ✊🏾
