TIL the official numbers coming out of #Gaza are severely limited. Apparently #TheLancet estimate 186,000 dead‼️ 😱😣😡

That's about 8% of the population dead at the hands of #starvation, lack of water, and medical infrastructure (because hospitals were almost all bombed by #Israel. That's like two people from your extended family, dead‼️ The uprising on October 7 may've been bad but happened after decades of colonial slave-like occupation, and land theft that even the #UN recognises as criminal, ***and*** reports even out of Israel indicate that Israel forces may've killed more Israelis on October 7 than Hamas (see the #HannibalDirective **) .

(** From wikipedia: According to #Haaretz reporter Leibovich-Dar, the motivation for the directive was the capture of two Israeli soldiers during a Hezbollah ambush in South Lebanon in June 1986).
