GAZA’S Health Ministry said today that more than 46,000 Palestinians have been killed by the Israelis, with no end in sight to the 15-month conflict.

The ministry said a total of 46,006 Palestinians have been killed and 109,378 wounded, with women and children making up more than half the fatalities.

The number of Palestinian dead is likely to be far higher as many thousands are still missing, likely trapped beneath bombed-out buildings.
