Washington Post: In northern Gaza.. An entire community is now a “cemetery”

A report in the Washington Post highlighted the “shocking” human suffering of the people of northern Gaza under the fire of the occupation army, which claimed the lives of more than 43,000 martyrs, 80% of whom died as a result of the collapse of buildings on their heads.

Ishan Tharoor, a columnist for the newspaper, said 70 percent of the martyrs were women and children, with the age group most targeted being children between the ages of 5 and 9.

The United Nations announced that the residents of the north of the Strip are living in famine, and the report cited a statement made by Saeed al-Kilani, a resident of the north, to the newspaper last week, in which he said that finding food has become impossible, and that the water is so salty that it is unsuitable for “animals or plants, yet we have no choice but to drink it.”

He added that during the first Israeli invasion of the Strip, “we used to feed on grass, but now even the grass is no longer there.”

According to the report, Louise Wotridge, a spokeswoman for UNRWA, posted a video of her driving through large swathes of the northern Strip, where a scene of destroyed buildings appears as far as the eye can see.

“There is no way to know where the destruction begins and ends, no matter which direction it enters Gaza, homes, hospitals, schools, health clinics, mosques, apartments and restaurants are all completely razed to the ground. An entire community is now a cemetery.”
