Powerful piece by @drrachelclarke.com on the COVID inquiry. Those who say it’s easy to be wise in hindsight are being utterly disingenuous. Many of us spoke out at the time, and it’s in the public record. @independentsage.bsky.social observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

And it's almost certainly an undercount www.bbc.com/news/live/cd...
This comes as seven more deaths from malnutrition have been recorded in the past 24 hours by hospitals in Gaza, according to the Hamas-run Ministry of Health.

It brings the total number of deaths caused by malnutrition to 154, including 89 children.

On Tuesday, the number of Palestinians killed since the war began on 7 October 2023 surpassed 60,000, according to the Hamas-run Ministry of Health. Its numbers are considered reliable by the United Nations and international institutions.

The figures mean that the war has left around one in 10 of Gaza’s 2.1 million Palestinians killed, injured or missing.
