Death toll in Gaza rises to over 21,000, as Israeli Prime Minister announces that he's ‘working’ on ethnic removal of Palestinians from the besieged Strip

The number of people in Gaza killed by Israeli attacks has risen to at least 21,110 since 7 October, with a further 55,243 injured, according to a statement by Gaza Health Ministry spokesperson Ashraf al-Qudra.

Moreover, the statement said 195 people had been killed in the past 24 hours and 325 injured.

The majority of those killed or injured have been women and children. 

Ordinary Palestinians still living in the north of Gaza have told Middle East Eye about the starvation they are suffering amidst the ongoing Israeli bombardment of the city.

"This is my first time being able to connect to the internet for 50 days. We are witnessing horrific days. Death feels imminent, and danger is looming. We fled our house tens of times," said 22-year-old Aseel from Gaza City.

"War is terrifying, and Gaza has become a ghost city. The harsh conditions and scarcity of food have transformed people into monsters, fighting for survival. People are ready to kill each other for food," she added.

"The local market next to us is filled with vendors who have looted shops. They sell goods at five or ten times their original prices. No aid is reaching us, and water is scarce. We have no other choice apart from drinking salt and polluted water."

"Last week, we woke up along with our displaced relatives, amidst the dust and rubble of the neighbouring house, completely unable to see each other. When we thought we made it, a military tank was awaiting us at the end of the street. We kept running until we reached a further place.

"They kill us with airstrikes, tank raids, white phosphorus, machine guns, drones, and field executions, while the world is watching.

"All that comes to my mind is how misled I was into studying law and believing in human rights. How can a Gazan believe in international law?" Aseel continued.
