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.

Oh, I don't doubt the Israelis are killing a crapload of children. I just would rather see the exact numbers from a more neutral party.

Yes 5000 is horrifically high. And if there's anything we've learned from watching the atrocities unfold over the last 70 years. Is that you don't believe either side without evidence.

Ukraine's total death toll is only 8000/9000 so far. 5000 in two weeks is genocidal.

Thats not even unrealistic to me when I remember the fact Gazas been bombed more in two weeks that Afghanistan ever got in a full years time. Afghanistan has a land area of a quarter of a million square miles and Gaza has an area of under 150 square miles.
