Photo Report “Prison without Ceiling”] Scattered bodies, bleeding people… “Scenes of Despair” from the Gaza Strip
As many as 1,000 children have been killed, and the ground invasion by the Israeli army has been announced again. Hospitals are short of staff and medicine.
How many thousands of shells have been fired by the Israeli army? The rocket fire has left no trace of the refugee camp in the Gaza Strip of the Palestinian Authority, leaving nothing but rubble, ruins, and bodies in its wake.
Since the start of the fighting on October 7, there has been no end to the retaliatory attacks by Israeli forces on Gaza. Palestinian journalist Sameh Ahmed, who has been reporting and photographing in the area, reveals the current situation in Gaza.
Since the beginning of the fighting, residential areas seem to have been consistently targeted,” said Sameh Ahmed, a Palestinian journalist who has been reporting and photographing in Gaza. According to the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Watch, an average of 100 children have died every day since the beginning of the Israeli military’s massive assault on Gaza; as of October 16, a total of 1,046 Palestinian children have lost their lives. Even those children who have survived have endured serious injury, loss, and trauma.”
The border between Israel and Gaza remains sealed, and for the third consecutive day since October 21, trucks carrying humanitarian aid have passed through the Rafah checkpoint on the border with Egypt, bringing water, food, and medicine, but the plight of the residents remains the same. Aiko Nishikida, a professor at Keio University’s Faculty of Law and an expert on contemporary Middle Eastern politics, said, “In Gaza, there is now no electricity.
Electricity is now out in Gaza, but fuel for power generation was not sent for fear that it would be used militarily by Hamas. The first batch of relief supplies was only enough to last 500 people for four days, and in Gaza, where 2.2 million people live, that’s a drop in the bucket. NGOs providing aid have pointed out the importance of opening the Karni checkpoint on the Israeli side, but this will be difficult under the current circumstances.
