Scale of destruction in Gaza City ‘extremely overwhelming’
Israeli attacks are still ongoing, unabated, in the eastern part of Gaza City. The scale of attacks illustrates how Israel’s current strategy is shaping the geography and demography of Gaza.
We can see how Israel is using heavy artillery, fighter jets and drones, in order to destroy what’s left of residential homes there. The scale of destruction is extremely overwhelming.
This current military tactic ensures that Israel will enable its forces to operate on the ground and will also ensure residential areas turn into zones of rubble.
People there say Israeli attacks are happening day and night.

‘Every nation must act’ to stop displacement in Gaza: Oxfam
The aid and development organisation warns that Israel’s plan to displace Palestinians again, as it pushes to seize Gaza City, “would deepen an already devastating pattern of destruction and suffering”.
“Every nation must act, using every diplomatic, legal, and economic tool at its disposal, to stop this crime,” Oxfam said in a statement. “History will not be kind to those who chose silence in the face of Gaza’s obliteration.”
2 million Palestinians have endured starvation, bombardment, and the systematic stripping of their rights by Israel. Forcibly displacing them yet again would deepen an already devastating pattern of destruction and suffering.
