American doctors who volunteered in Gaza said in a letter to US President Joe Biden that the death toll is much higher than announced by the Gaza Health Ministry and that the casualties may exceed 92,000, a horrific number that represents 4.6% of Gaza’s population.

An investigation by Israel’s Channel 12 revealed Hamas tunnels are like “a spider web” and that Hamas fighters “managed to disappear underground and launch surprise attacks simultaneously.”

More than 75 American organizations, including Jewish Voice for Peace, criticized American support and armament for Israel, and said that Benjamin Netanyahu’s government is using American support and weapons to kill about 40,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, 39,175 Palestinians have been killed, and 90,403 wounded in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza starting on October 7.
