Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Death Toll in Gaza Tops 21,000; Israeli Drone Kills Six Palestinians in West Bank

HeadlineDec 27, 2023

Gaza’s Health Ministry says at least 241 Palestinians have been killed over the past 24 hours as Israel intensifies its assault on Gaza, where the overall death toll has topped 21,000, including over 8,000 children.

Meanwhile, in the occupied West Bank, an Israeli drone strike has killed six Palestinians in the Nur Shams refugee camp in Tulkarem during an Israeli raid. Al Jazeera reports Israeli forces blocked ambulances from reaching the victims of the strike. The youngest victim was 16 years old. Israeli forces and settlers have killed at least 300 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank since Hamas attacked Israel on October 7.
