    The UN has published the estimated deaths to be at least 200k+ because of famine and the lack of medical care.

    • Humanitarian aid was blocked
    • Food trucks were stopped
    • Hospitals are bombed

    That’s a Genocide.

      Oh yeah, I’m using very low numbers (ie. just the bodies who have been identified) so there’s little room for argument. The actual death toll is unknowable because it’s so large.

      Oh yeah, no doubt about it. I just can’t ever know how many bodies are under the remains of their buildings. I imagine that could even be a conservative number. I doubt they were doing a census.

      It’s making me sick thinking about it every day and I’m so privileged to even have the luxury of giving a shit.
