Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Snip:

The official death toll due to Israel’s war on Palestinians in Gaza significantly increased on 3 February, after the Gaza Health Ministry added the 14,222 Palestinians estimated missing under the rubble.

The ministry now reports that 61,709 people, including over 17,000 children, have been killed since the start of the war.

[...]

Since the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas went into effect on 19 January, the Gaza civil defense has been able to recover additional bodies, including 18 on Monday, adding to the confirmed death toll.

The Health Ministry's estimate of nearly 62,000 dead is in line with an estimate of the death toll published earlier this month by the Lancet medical journal. It estimated that the death toll in Gaza during the first nine months of Israel's genocidal war on the strip was around 40 percent higher than recorded by the Health Ministry.

Wouldn't be at all surprised if it's north of 250k when the proper estimates are done. Goddamn blood thirsty demons.
