For over a year now, the Israeli war machine has been on a relentless campaign in Gaza, resulting in the tragic deaths of tens of thousands of civilians. The recent airstrikes in Gaza City led to the martyrdom of 12 people, including nine members of the same family. The situation worsened as rescue teams were blocked from reaching the Jabalia refugee camp and bodies piled up on the streets.
Explosions and gunfire continued to terrorize various neighborhoods of Gaza City, with more lives lost in attacks on shelters for displaced people. The onslaught even targeted hospitals, putting the lives of over 700,000 Palestinians at risk. Plans for ethnic cleansing are being proposed, adding to the already dire situation in the region.
The UNRWA reports that 400,000 people are trapped in northern Gaza, with evacuation orders only adding to the chaos. The residents know there is no safe place in Gaza, but refuse to leave their homes despite the dangers.
