Israel is continuing its campaign to erase Gaza City by systematically bombing residential high-rise buildings, schools, homes and tent encampments.
Targets struck recently included the Islamic University and the Ro’ya Tower, which housed media and U.N. offices.
Israeli officials claim 250,000 Palestinians have left Gaza City in recent days, but residents of the city say there is no safe place to go as Israel moves to displace the city’s entire population of one million.
One resident told reporters: “I wish someone would look at us, the Palestinian people, in a human way. In European countries, there are animal rights, taking care of the animals and the birds. No one is looking after us, the people of Gaza. They are not looking for these children. Our children either die from hunger or strikes, or either they’re displaced from the north to the south in harsh conditions. We are approaching winter, in tents. Tents don’t protect us in the summer during the heat; in the winter, nothing.”
