IN CASE YOU FORGOT! The Israeli attacks on Gaza are now entering their FOURTH week! Let's put this into perspective shall we. An area just a bit bigger than the size of Liverpool city with TEN times the population, approximately half of them children, with no army, navy or airforce - no tanks, war ships or fighter jets - has had the full force of one of the most powerful militaries in the world continuously bombard it from land, sea, and air for the last TWENTY TWO DAYS! Not to mention that all its borders are BLOCKED so there's literally no where to run!!
55% of this concentration camp now looks it has been hit by a tsunami. 4987 homes have been completely destroyed, 26 270 have been damaged, 4136 of which are now uninhabitable. 5 hospitals and dozens of other health facilities have been damaged or destroyed, including Gaza's largest hospital Al-Shifa, and several ambulances carrying the wounded. 120 schools have been damaged or destroyed, including 70 run by the UN, and 4 other UN shelters were targeted last week alone.Yesterday Gaza's only electricity plant was bombed, leaving 90% of the population without electricity. Repeated bombing of water supplies and infrastructure has also left 70% of the population with limited or no access to water.
215 000 Palestinians are now displaced with thousands having to sleep outside under the open sky. 400 000 more have been warned by the IDF to evacuate, obviously as part of a sick joke seeing as there is no where to go.
6896 Palestinians have been injured or wounded, 2164 of which are children, 1314 women, 282 elderly, and again the majority of the remaining men are civilians. The majority of these people will die because not only is Gaza's medical facilities being targeted, but its already limited medical supplies are running out. Oh and Israel is kindly saving the international community some money by restricting all international aid entering the strip.
1210 Palestinians have been killed, 287 of which have been children, 130 have been women, 57 have been elderly, and 80% of the remaining men have been civilians. Bloodthirsty Netanyahu/Hitler is not done however, vowing on Monday to extend his genocidal operation.
