Death Toll in Gaza Tops 24,000
------------------------------

Israel's bombardment and siege on Gaza has entered its 102nd day.
Palestinian health officials say Israeli attacks have killed 158
civilians in Gaza over the past 24 hours, bringing the death toll to
over 24,000. The dead include more than 10,000 children. 
On Sunday, President Biden released a statement marking 100 days since
the October 7 Hamas attack. In the statement, Biden decried Hamas for
continuing to hold more than 100 hostages, but Biden made no mention of
the tens of thousands of Palestinians killed, injured or displaced
during Israel's indiscriminate assault.
