After more than 12,000 deaths, more than 5,000 being children and 3,000 women, with 3,700 missing, there is no end in sight to the Gaza slaughter. Israel’s war on Gaza’s dwellings, more than forty percent of which is now rubble, now extended to its hospitals where surgeries are carried out without anesthetic, and premature children are dying because of non-functioning incubators, Israel’s war on Gaza has no end in sight. Having displaced 1.6 million Gazans by bombing and ordering northern Gazans to move to south Gaza, Israel says that it will now extend its bombing campaign in southern Gaza. Racing to the south to avoid bombs, the fate of both northern and southern Gazans is now dismal. And as if the bombs were not enough, Gazans now face starvation, according to the United Nations. Part of the headline of a New York Times article describes northern as “Ruins, Wreckage and Darkness.” It would have been more accurate if the description was “Ruins, Wreckage, Death and Darkness.”
