Just a quick glimpse of Gaza Before & After Israel's War

2025 "Al Zaytoun, the largest neighbourhood of Gaza City, was eliminated during the past three days.. Israeli occupation forces are heading westward —Al Sabra and Tal al Islam or Tal al Hawwa.. Then, 1.5 million displaced persons would have nowhere to go except the sea!!! "

During the warmer months, people in Gaza used to flock to Al-Bahr Boulevard, which is lined with beaches, to cool off and enjoy the sun. In winter, the locals would visit the area to enjoy the scenery from one of the seaside cafes.  https://www.arabnews.com/node/2433256/middle-east

How Israel's bombing campaign endangers Gaza's archaeological treasures

The magnitude of destruction [by Israel] since 7 October is unparalleled in comparison with any previous Israeli assault on the Palestinian territory

"If countless photos of starving, skin-and-bone children, elderly people, HUMANS in Gaza haven’t appeal to the world, maybe a before-and-after of animals will? . This is Tom, my cat, before Israel’s genocide, and just moments ago, in the midst of its deliberate, systematic starvation campaign" Maha Hussaini

This is Tom, my cat, before Israel’s genocide, and just moments ago, in the midst of its deliberate, systematic starvation campaign.

Since 2 March, Israel has completely sealed Gaza’s borders, blocking the entry of goods and international aid. A few weeks ago, it imposed a US-backed aid distribution mechanism with 4 designated points where Palestinians are gunned down as they approach in search of food

Almost every child in Gaza is now suffering from some form of malnutrition. We have been documenting a growing number of deaths among infants, children, and the elderly due to severe, prolonged hunger
