“This war now has led to around 11,000 Palestinian children losing limbs. This is the largest cohort of pediatric amputees in the history of warfare.” — Dr. @GhassanAbuSitt1

1.8 million Palestinians are now confined to an area that is just 11% of the Gaza Strip. This has effectively become a death camp. https://t.co/70EwReklEy

I just spoke to a relative. There's not a single cemetery, street corner, empty plot of land, school, or facility that isn't filled with people. Rats are everywhere, flies that feast on corpses are chasing people, sewage is overflowing, and there's no food, no water—only misery.

In less than 10 months, the population of my hometown, Deir el-Balah, jumped from 87,000 to ≈ 1,000,000. The area of Deir el-Balah is around 14.7 km², which means that the population density there now is approximately 68,027 people per km², compared to 5,918 ppl/km², pre-war. https://t.co/HD7r7CiUmZ

Let this shame be an eternal stain on every person, community, group, government, and institution that defends, aids, abets, and shields this brutal, evil, and cruel regime from accountability and criticism. Evil, evil, evil Nazis. https://t.co/wQqubchWL5

After Zionist militias seized Palestinians' homes in al-Ramleh, they separated the men from women and children, and held men behind barbed wire detention camps without basic human rights. Government reports documented incidents of rape and looting in al-Ramleh. 📷Beno Rothenberg

The men in al-Ramleh, confined behind barbed wire, endured hunger & thirst in July's scorching heat, sleeping on the ground without blankets. The Zionist militias occasionally provided water rations, which were distributed by the younger children & siblings of the imprisoned men.

These Palestinians, prior to their expulsion as refugees, bore witness to the seizure and looting of their homes, and endured separation from their families. These men and their families experienced weeks or even months of separation before eventually reuniting in refugee camps.

A Zionist soldier with a repulsive colonial attitude distributes food to hungry Palestinian children in Bir al-Sabi'. These children did not know they were about to face expulsion, which would condemn them to a lifetime as refugees.

The dome of the mosque at al-Majdal, a haunting reminder of the Nakba. Zionist militias, during that time, decimated around 100 mosques across historic Palestine.

Amidst the ruins of Saris village, where this bomb-ravaged house stood, Israel erected a controversial "martyr's forest," ostensibly intended as a memorial to Jewish Holocaust victims (!).

Remember the women and men who, after being separated from the detained men in barbed wire detention camps, here they are, in the streets of al-Ramle, awaiting expulsion.

Zionists seizing control of a Palestinian shop in Jerusalem, boldly asserting ownership by spray-painting "a Jewish shop" in Hebrew on the wall, thereby usurping the premises from its expelled owners.
