Death Toll Tops 45,000 - Gaza

Medical staff tend to an injured person lying on a stretcher in the emergency room of the Arab Baptist Ahli Hospital in Gaza City on December 7, 2024. A residential house in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood is targeted, causing several casualties and injuries taken to the Arab Baptist Ahli Hospital. The death toll in the Gaza Strip from the 14-month war between Israel and Hamas militants has topped 45,000 people, Palestinian health officials said Monday. The Gaza Health Ministry said the real toll is likely higher because thousands of bodies are still buried under rubble or in areas that medics cannot access. Almost 107,000 have been injured since the start of the war, the ministry added. It does not distinguish between civilians and combatants in its count, but it has said that more than half of the fatalities are women and children.

A Brighter Summer Day

Wëi Yi and Jay kissing in Jay's apartment, Taipei, Taiwan, 2019 ‘I think gender stereotypes are also very strong in the gay community. Taiwanese gay men don’t have their own culture, so they’re appropriating the western gay culture but without the drag aspect. Drag culture just appeared about five years ago, and before that it was just about masculinity. Men feel like they need to be stocky or have bodies like western men to be acceptable. In Taiwan, we only have the history of fighting and resisting but we don’t have the history of defining ourselves, or defining our own culture. Also the government tends to erase gay culture and art. So we don’t have our own gay history, we don’t have a path to follow our culture and identity, so we copy from the western world. And Taiwan has been colonized by many countries, by Japan, China and Spain. So we tend to change ourselves, to adapt very quickly. There’s been many changes in the past years.’ Jay Photo by Su Cassiano/Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM
