Genocide in Gaza

Over five months into the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza, the regime’s relentless bombardment and shelling continue to claim innocent lives in the besieged Palestinian territory. Over a hundred Gazans have lost their lives in Israeli strikes since Wednesday. Several areas, including Jabalia in the north and Rafah in the south have come under fresh shelling and aerial strikes. The death toll from the US-Israeli genocide in Gaza since October the 7 is now closer to 32,000, most of them women and children. Meanwhile, the Israeli army has also warned the displaced people in Al-Shifa Hospital to leave the complex immediately. Palestinian media reported that the military also blew up a building used as critical care unit there. Israeli forces attacked the hospital at the weekend, killing and injuring a number of people while kept laying siege to the compound. On Wednesday, the Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas, released a footage showing its fighters repelling an Israeli attack near al-Shifa. The video shows resistance fighters targeting invading troops and a tank with rockets and hand-grenades. 

Gaza domicide

The United Nations’ Satellite Center has released an updated assessment of the damage inflicted on buildings in the Gaza Strip. It says 35% of all buildings in the Gaza Strip have been damaged. UNOSAT said nearly 90,000 buildings have been damaged among which around 32,000 have been completely destroyed. The new assessment shows that nearly 20,000 buildings have been damaged in Gaza Strip since the previous assessment in January. Israel’s indiscriminate bombings of the besieged territory have resulted in destruction of Hospitals, schools, mosques, churches and civilian infrastructure. Such destruction of homes and other essential areas has displaced hundreds of thousands of people. Human rights organizations say the destruction appears to be aimed at or has the effect of rendering the return of civilians to these areas impossible.

"Stop arming Israel"

Israel’s relentless massacres in the Gaza Strip are sparking a deepening rift between the regime and its closest allies. The UK has conditioned the continuation of arms sales to Israel on granting access to the Red Cross to visit Hamas forces detained by the regime. London argues that Tel Aviv is violating the international law by refusing to share detainee lists and allow Red Cross visits. British Foreign Secretary, David Cameron has also warned of a wider weapons embargo by Europe if the regime continues with its genocidal war on Gaza. The threat comes on the heels of a recent decision by Canada to impose an arms ban on Israel over its violations of the international law in Gaza. The UK has also been witnessing nation-wide pro-Palestine demonstrations. In one such rally, hundreds of Britons shut down arms factories across England and Scotland to condemn the country's complicity in the Israeli genocide against Palestinians.
