The Israeli occupation targeted children playing football in the streets in an air strike.
I'm so speechless. To think there are so much more trapped underneath the rubble just like this, but they are not found 💔

It has been six months since Israel launched its brutal offensive on Palestine’s Gaza, killing more than 33,000 Palestinians — mostly women and children — and driving nearly 2 million more from their homes, in what humanitarian agencies have called a “betrayal of humanity.”
As Israeli troops withdraw from Khan Younis to prepare for a military offensive on Rafah, the last remaining safe haven for those who were forced out from their homes, the people of Gaza brace for a projected famine that could see as many as 70% of Gaza's population facing catastrophic conditions in the next 4 months.
I’ve seen several media outlets trying to claim that the UN has ‘quietly’ halved the number of Palestinian women and children killed since October 7th. Some have gone so far as to allege that Hamas fabricated the original numbers to try and cover for the 1:1 ratio of insurgents to civilians killed.
They’ve chosen to ignore the fact that the UN published a completely separate report, comprised of individuals whose remains have been identified.
The UN has clarified that the total number of women and children killed in Gaza since October 7th remains unchanged.
Gaza blackout ‼️
No communications in Gaza anymore ‼️
There is currently a complete blackout of communications and internet in Gaza due to ongoing bombardment and damaged infrastructure, leading to the total isolation of the area from the outside world. Telecommunications and internet services have been severely affected due to power outages and airstrikes that have hit communication towers and networks.
Humanitarian organizations and journalists are facing extreme difficulty in communicating with residents, providing aid, or documenting events.

This is Rafah, The "safe" zone, where 1.5 million Palestinian fled to. You have to understand, what bombing Rafah means.
Please don't look away, while everybody is busy watching the super bowl, Israel commits one of its most deadly and openly genocidal attacks on Rafah. Please don't look away.
