Lord Cameron said while he would not support a major ground offensive in the Gazan city of Rafah, the UK would not copy US plans to stop some arms sales.
He said the UK supplies just 1% of Israel’s weapons and warned Israel must do more to protect civilians and allow humanitarian aid through.
Considering October 7 had 695 civilian deaths (of a total of 1139 deaths) we are seeing a much higher than 30 times Oct7 numbers. It’s more like 50 times (35,000+ deaths in Gaza).
Even if you would count all killed adult men to be Hamas (~70% of deaths are women and children), the number would still be 35 times higher than the death toll of Israelis on Oct 7.
And we’re not even taking into account the number killed by friendly fire on that day.
Not to forget that there is about 10,000 people in Gaza stilling missing in the rubble. Plus even if everyone received adequate food and water today, there will still be hundreds if not thousands dying from injuries and malnutrition as they don’t get adequate medical care.
So even if everything stopped right now. The real death toll is likely more in the range of 45,000 people killed and we need to consider more to be alive, but destined to die because of the inhumane conditions the entire population of Gaza is suffering by the hands of Israel and its allies.
