@middleeasteye: - Israel has killed at least 11,100 Palestinians in just over a month of relentless bombing in Gaza, Palestine’s government media office announced on Saturday. Of those killed, at least 8,000 are women and children. An additional 28,000 people have been wounded since the start of the war on 7 October. - Avi Dichter, the Israeli minister of agriculture and former minister of internal security called the ongoing war “the Nakba of Gaza 2023,” on Saturday. The minister made the comments on a live interview on the Israeli Channel 12. The Nakba, or “catastrophe” as it’s known in English, refers to the ethnic cleansing of some 750,000 Palestinians from their lands and homes in historic Palestine to make way for the creation of Israel in 1948. Since the war began on 7 October, an estimated 1.4 million Palestinians have been displaced from their homes. On Friday alone, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (Ocha) said that an estimated 30,000 Palestinians fled northern Gaza on Friday after being forcibly removed by Israel’s ground operation. At least 11,100 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the war began, including more than 4,500 children, while around 2,500 people are missing.
