Americans should acknowledge the catastrophe they have created in Gaza
PORTLAND - Yes, we know the official Hamas count of Palestinian deaths as of August 23—a little over 41,000 and counting, with about 70 percent of the carnage women and children. Some observers estimate the associated deaths as of now could be at least another 100,000—those already killed and under the rubble and in those in the throes of death from lack of basic medicines and care, malnutrition and disease with Gaza reporting its first case of polio in twenty-five years on August 26. There are tens of thousands of children who are struggling as orphans and on a constant move when Israelis command them to evacuate every few days. The sub-par existence and infrastructure that Gaza had before the war is now 80-90 percent destroyed with Gazans surviving in a state few humans faced even a century ago.
