No surprise death toll in Gaza has continued to climb, Amnesty International chief says

IT IS no surprise that Gaza’s death toll has continued to climb even with a ceasefire, Amnesty International’s secretary general Agnes Callamard said today.
This comes as authorities confirmed today that the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in Gaza has reached a staggering 61,709, and a day after plans by United States President Donald Trump to “clean out” Gaza prompted a swift rebuke from Iran.
The latest figures from Gaza also show that more than 111,588 Palestinians have been injured with another 14,222 missing and presumed to be dead since October 2023.
