This week, the US drafted a new UN security council resolution calling for an “immediate ceasefire” in Gaza tied to the release of hostages. That’s as a UN panel of experts is warning that a catastrophic famine there is imminent – and that up to half a million Palestinians will perish from war and famine if the conflict continues unabated.
Activist and author Ralph Nader argues that already, there are likely many more Palestinians killed in the conflict that mass media or governments have let on. In a recent post on his website, Nader argues that based on on-the-ground-accounts and photo and video documentation, a more likely appraisal of Palestinians killed so far is more likely to number in the hundreds of thousands. He joins host Esty Dinur to talk why he thinks deaths in Gaza are being drastically underreported.
