Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor estimates that over 13,000 Palestinians are either missing under debris, buried in indiscriminate mass graves, or forcibly disappeared in Israeli prisons and detention facilities, where some have even been killed. The circumstances surrounding the deaths of these prisoners and detainees have not yet been made public by the Israeli army, nor have any independent investigators been able to confirm or determine the details of their deaths. These victims’ bodies have not been exhumed, their identities have not been established, andtheir remains have not been repatriated, nor have their relatives been informed.

This estimate is based on initial reports of missing people, and the true number is likely higher. Given the ongoing military attacks and siege by the Israeli government, as well as the illegal practices of the Israeli army that have scattered Palestinian families—particularly by forcing them to repeatedly evacuate without safe passages, separating family members and forcing them to move to different areas, arresting and forcibly disappearing some of them, and cutting off communication between families—it is not possible to confirm the precise number of missing people at this time.

It's going to be really fucking horrible watching the reality of this gradually come into view after there is finally a lasting cease fire. Some people will act shocked and pretend they didn't know but anyone paying attention knows it's there.

Bodies under the rubble, all of the people who died because the health system has been destroyed, the full reality of the looming famine, and all of the people the IDF killed and buried with bulldozers being discovered.

In Cambodia at the killing fields the bodies are barely below the surface in some of the mass graves, some guy's trousers and thigh bone were sticking up through the dirt. Can't get that image out of my head while reading this.

Seeing those burnt and half fallen apart bodies being dug up from bulldozed sand hills outside of Al Shifa really gives an image of the insane horror stories the Palestinians are suffering from.

There's no way only 30,000 died.

[-] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

With that much destruction and 2 million people, no you're right, 30k seems very low.

The figure has also been somewhat static for a while now, despite little food, clean water, or health services as all have been denied or destroyed by IDF terrorists. I bet the figure is at least double, but the terrorists have effectively destroyed any reporting capability by Hamas or any third party.

There's also about 100 Israelis missing too... Any mention of them?

[-] ad_on_is@programming.dev 14 points 5 months ago

Assuming they were kept hostage in Gaza, which was bombed by the IDF, chances are they were killed by their own people. Neither of them deserved to die, not the 100 Israelis, and not the THOUSANDS of Palestinians.

If the IDF hadn't committed genocide, and these 100 were found dead after a few months, the Hamas could've entirely and rightfully been held accountable for their deaths. No questions asked!

But in this case, the IDF is even more to blame than the Hamas.

All the fucking time. Regardless of how many innocent Palestinians have been killed, injured or starved. It’s getting annoying and nearly at the level of ‘Do YoU ConDEMn HAmas’ concern trolling.

I see maths isn't your forte.

People ignore this dude, just check his comment history. Obvious Israel support and a possible Zionist.

Best thing to do is block him.

[-] mightyfoolish@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

Yes, we know about the Israelis protesting about the hostages the IDF killed.

[-] eskimofry@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

They probably died in IDF carpet bombing and shooting their own citizens.
