Israel has continued bombarding Gaza’s south despite telling 1.1 million people in the north of the besieged enclave to relocate there ahead of an expected ground offensive.

“We were displaced from Tal al-Hawa to Rafah at the request of the Israeli army, and this is what happened to us. My son is a 3-month-old martyr,” the father of a child killed in an attack in Rafah told Al Jazeera.

I’m honestly just so depressed.

Think of what Palestinians are going through if you feel this way. I had to stop looking at the corpses and small children being torn apart. But I don't regret it, it only made my resolve stronger to counter the lies.

Me too.

I'm both sad and very angry about the situation, nothing news worthy so far makes me feel so powerless.

Don't be. The source of this information is hamas, who can't be trusted.

And the hospital with 130 premature babies that are going to die soon? are we supposed to question the hospital personnel or reporting that?

[–] rdri 0 points 1 year ago

Hospital or hospitals? It's reported by the "Health Ministry" which is controlled by hamas (terrorists), like anything else in Gaza.

We are not supposed to question if you don't like it. We are supposed to understand that this information comes from an unreliable source and act accordingly.
