“As if it’s our last moments. A doomsday. People killed and left on the streets and everything is burning! Oh Allah; there is nothing left but Your mercy.”

United Nations housing expert Balakrishnan Rajagopal has stated that the reconstruction of Gaza could take 80 years if the Israeli occupation continues its aggression on the enclave.
“The level of destruction in certain areas of #Gaza, particularly northern Gaza, is approaching levels of 100%. It’s not 70% anymore. And one has to ask, what is really the goal or the military objective of destruction of this scale, which no other military power in any recent conflict has seen necessary in order to win a war Rajagopal said.
“If truly what’s going on in Gaza is a war, the purpose of war is victory. But what is the metric of victory here? I’ve been unable to understand, given the scale of this destruction.”
Meanwhile at least 19 more Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip, bringing the overall death toll since October last year to 42,519, the Health Ministry in the enclave said on Saturday.
A ministry statement added that some 99,637 others were injured in the ongoing assault.
“Israeli forces killed 19 people and injured 91 others in three massacres of families in the last 24 hours,” the ministry said.
“Many people are still trapped under the rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,” it added.

Nine Palestinians were killed and more than 50 others injured on Friday in Israeli airstrikes targeting houses and a group of civilians in Jabalia refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip, which has been under assault for 14 consecutive days.
In a statement, Al-Awda Hospital said that three Palestinians were killed and 50 others injured in an Israeli airstrike on a home in Jabalia Camp.
A medical source at Kamal Adwan Hospital confirmed that three Palestinians were killed in another Israeli strike on a gathering of civilians in the Al-Fakhura area of Jabalia.
The civil defense said its rescue teams removed the bodies of three more people killed in an Israeli airstrike on a home in Jabalia, adding that two more were also injured in the strike.
A fire erupted in the house as a result of the airstrike, the civil defense added.
For the 14th consecutive day, the Israeli army has continued its offensive in northern Gaza, focusing on Jabalia and its camp.
The area is under a suffocating siege and constant bombardment, with homes being demolished over their inhabitants.
This is the third ground operation the Israeli army has carried out in Jabalia camp since the start of the ongoing war on Gaza on Oct. 7, 2023 according to Anadolu.
Israel has continued a brutal offensive on Gaza following a cross-border attack by the Palestinian group Hamas on Oct. 7 last year, despite a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate cease-fire.
At least 42,500 people have since been killed, mostly women and children, and over 99,500 injured, according to local health authorities.
The Israeli onslaught has displaced almost the entire population of Gaza amid an ongoing blockade that has led to severe shortages of food, clean water and medicine.
Israel faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its actions in Gaza.
