Health authorities in Gaza have reported that over 37,400 people have been killed since Israel launched its air and ground offensive. This assault was triggered by a deadly attack on southern Israel by Hamas fighters on October 7th, which left approximately 1,200 Israelis dead and over 250 taken hostage. The violence has led to widespread condemnation and calls for accountability from the international community. Chris Sidoti, a member of the UN’s Independent International Commission of Inquiry, shared findings with the International Criminal Court, highlighting serious concerns about the conduct of the Israeli military.
