Dear friends,
Israel
has continued its brutal and cold blooded massacre in Gaza. The death toll is now in excess of 680 Palestinians, the vast majority of whom are civilians. More than 132 children have lost their lives, as Israel continues to indiscriminately bomb Gaza. More than 4,500 people are injured. The Palestinian human rights organisation, Al Mezan Centre in Gaza noted in an interview with Al Jazeera that Israel's "warnings" to the areas for people to "evacuate" encompasses 43% of the Gaza Strip, which is only 360 sq km. Issam Younis from Al Mezan noted that the warning were "red herrings", because "forcing people to vacate their homes is a war crime on its own". More than 100,000 people have now been displaced from their homes.
Israel
has struck more than 25 health facilities in the Gaza Strip since the
beginning of its military offensive against the besieged coastal enclave
earlier this month, according to Palestinian health officials. - See
