Israeli occupation forces have continued their brutal and immoral offensive on the Gaza Strip for the 50th consecutive day in violation of the international law. They have employed their full-fledged arsenal to attack the Gaza Strip from the air, sea and land, killing and wounding thousands of Palestinians, mostly civilians, including children and women. Many Palestinians have been killed by Israeli airstrikes that attacked their homes without prior warnings. Israeli forces have attacked homes and civilian facilities and property.
In the past 24 hours, Israeli forces have escalated their airstrikes targeting more houses in densely populated areas in disregard for the lives of Palestinian civilians. Last night, they attacked civil and service organizations clearly targeting the infrastructure of the civil society. Israeli forces have continued their threats to launch a new ground operation. As a result of these attacks, 14 Palestinians, 10 of whom are civilians, including 6 children and 2 women, have been killed, and 120 others, including 31 women and 38 children, have been wounded. Additionally, 27 houses, a charity, 2 mosques, a workshop and a poultry farm have been destroyed. Moreover, a member of a Palestinian armed group died of a previous wound.

(3,186 posts)It's amazing to me that all of this is going on, yet I hear nothing from the media outside of DU and alternative news websites.
I wish I knew of some way to help all of these civilians. The whole situation is frustrating beyond words...
