Iraq Body Count

Information and expert analysis on casualties of armed violence in Iraq (since 2003) and Gaza (since 2023). Now on Substack.
They shone with hope and joy, each in their own way Gaza’s children as they were in life: photographic tributes found on the web This video shows, along with their name and age, some of the many children killed since Oct 7 in Gaza, drawing on pictorial tributes from their…
1) Cindy McCain, director of the World Food Programme, wife of late Republican Senator John McCain, refutes claims Hamas is stealing aid. 2) A consensus of genocide scholars concludes that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, including Israeli scholars
Owen, calling Israel a genocidal state while ignoring Hamas’s role in starving its own people is the definition of disingenuous. You must know this, which is why you go for the ad-hominem (something I avoid). Israel is not committing genocide. It is at war with a terrorist group…
An American doctor describes the impact of the israeli-engineered malnutrition in Gaza: it didn’t just happen; it was designed to kill
It’s no doubt a good thing to see this categorical, raw Daily Express front page tomorrow. But when it mattered most, it manufactured consent for the very horrors it is now condemning. This is cause and effect.
Images out of Gaza today are the worst I've ever seen. Children piled on a hospital floor, bloody, injured, dying, dead. A toddler with her intestines outside her body while another screams in terror, reaching out for safety. I can't express this feeling. The rage, the shame.
Every story on BBC's Gaza page is about war crimes and mass killing. A new development: they’re even using the active voice. This is a genocide. Accountability is coming We'll not allow anyone to pretend they were 'always against this'. Not for a second Follow @archivegenocide
Do you all realise how hollow your statements on mental health, LGBTQ+ rights, women’s empowerment, racial justice, and community care sound when you stay silent as Gaza is starved, bombed, and erased in real time?
Again - Why is Israel still in FIFA?
Just days ago a Palestinian footballer was killed while trying to get aid. Now, the Palestine Football Association confirms another: Ismail Abu Dan, of Al-Tuffah Club, killed the same way: waiting for food in Gaza. 10 footballers killed in July alone. A dark month for football.
Keir Starmer has described the situation in Gaza as "intolerable on many levels", just not the one where Britain stops arming Israel
I used to worry about my colleagues in Gaza being killed by Israeli drone strikes or bombing or sniper shots. Now I also fear they will starve to death. Journalists, why are you so silent about this? Where is your humanity?

A crime against both humanity and medicine: Marwan Al-Hommos, Director of Field Hospitals in Gaza, is detained in Ashkelon Prison and suffers from a gunshot wound to his leg.
This is what Israel does best. This is what the American-supplied bombs and AI are used for. Mass murder of children. Every single day for 22 months. This was earlier today in a strike on the Mushtaha family's shelter in Sheikh Radwan, Gaza City. Shame on those that support this!…
More arrests in Edinburgh. One of the signs which led to an arrest under the Terrorism Act says: “Those who take action against genocide in Palestine are not the terrorists”
PACE testimonial 1 October 2024 Julian Assange - "As I emerge from the dungeon of Belmarsh, the truth now seems less discernible, and I regret how much ground has been lost during that time period - how expressing the truth has been undermined, attacked, weakened and diminished.…
The killing in Gaza continues Yesterday, July 20, the Israeli military killed 133 people, 76 of whom were waiting for humanitarian aid. ישראל ממשיכה את ההרג בעזה. אתמול, 20.7, הצבא הישראלי הרג 133 בני אדם - מתוכם 76 בעת שחיכו לסיוע הומניטרי.
Hey @realDonaldTrump @POTUS You know who was a legit victim of Russiagate? Julian Assange. You know. The journalist and publisher you spied on in the Ecuadorean embassy, plotted to murder, and had arrested and jailed for doing journalism. Seems the least you could do now…
AOC adopted a smug posture to justify her indefensible vote to send more money to the Zionist regime. Her indifferent tone was not incidental. By saying “of course I voted no,” as if this were a political no-brainer, she’s attempting to revive a defunct electoral adage: that…
Jordan to have a food festival while its neighbour is starved to death…
مهرجان عالمي للطعام!!!!! لشو؟؟ للطعام!!! اكيد مش روبوتات يلي رح يشاركو! عند البعض الشعب والسلطة متساويين بالوسخ #تفه
Every day the Israeli Army shoots and kills people who are being starved by the Israeli government and whom the Israeli government 'invites' to come get food so that the Israeli Army shoots and kills them. What more do you want before rising up against our complicit gvts?
This near-daily shooting and killing of people who are being starved by the Israeli government is a horrific crime that we must stop. The Washington Post news headline today: "79 Gazans killed waiting for food after Israeli troops open fire, medics say..."…
