As the world mourns a ‘grim milestone’, talks to halt nearly 11 months of a devastating Israeli offensive are under way in Qatar.
Israel’s relentless war on Gaza has killed more than 40,000 Palestinians, at least 16,456 of them children and over 11,000 women.
Gaza’s Health Ministry on Thursday announced the grim milestone, a figure that is likely an undercount as most of the missing 10,000 Palestinians are believed to be buried under mountains of rubble.
“Can you imagine what 40,000 means? It is a catastrophic number that the world cannot imagine,” Aseel Matar, a Palestinian woman in Gaza, told Al Jazeera.
“Despite this, the world sees, is aware, hears, and watches us every day, every minute, but remains silent, and we are powerless. We are exhausted, we have no energy left.”
