Over the course of just a few weeks, thousands of Palestinians have been killed, including many children, as well as health workers and journalists. Hospitals, mosques, water sources and residential buildings are being struck without warning, wiping out entire neighbourhoods. Those who escape and seek shelter in schools, but those have also been targeted by bombs.

A complete siege has cut off all food, water, fuel and electricity to 2.3 million people. Terrifying scenes show clouds of smoke engulfing the entire horizon.
