Genocide in Gaza: Weekend strikes leave hundreds dead, thousands injured
Gaza health officials have reported that Israeli airstrikes over the weekend resulted in the deaths of at least 200 people, with northern Gaza's Tal Al Zaatar and Beit Lahiya areas bearing the brunt of the attacks.
Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, described the dire situation, stating: "They were calling for help, and anyone who tried to help was bombed. Unfortunately, the cries for help disappeared; they were killed." Among the tragedies, a single building in the Tel Al Zaatar neighborhood, housing more than 40 members of the Al-Araj family, was struck, according to Gaza Civil Defence spokesman Mahmoud Basal.
Basal condemned the lack of accountability for the escalating violence, emphasizing: "This scene has become a daily occurrence, and no one is accountable; no one can stop the killing of innocent people." Abu Safiya echoed these sentiments, lamenting: "We have become mere numbers in front of the world."
The Gaza Health Ministry has reported that the death toll since the beginning of the conflict has reached 44,382, with over 105,000 individuals injured. The escalating violence underscores the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the besieged Palestinian enclave. (ILKHA)
