More than 200 people have been killed in the past three days due to the ongoing attacks on residential buildings, on groups of people gathering in the streets, in marketplaces or inside their shelters in Gaza strip, reports Al Jazeera.
Just Saturday alone, more than 60 people were killed. And contrary to Israeli statements [that claim their targets are Hamas operatives] we are seeing women and children making up the vast majority of casualties.
Early evening on Saturday, Israeli forces hit a gathering of people in front of an evacuation centre in Bureij refugee camp, which was an UNRWA school, who were buying dinner at a falafel shop or buying something to drink. The drone attack killed four people and injured many others.
Hospitals are also overwhelmed.
At the emergency department at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, people were left on the floor and others were waiting to be admitted into the operating theatre.
And by the time it’s their turn, it’s too late – they have already bled to death. The burns are quite severe, and no pain medication is available at the hospital.
There is also a silent death going on. In the past weeks, due to the ongoing attacks, people are dying quietly because of the lack of medical supplies.
