Israeli Occupation Massacres – Testimonies of the Brutality of the Aggression
The massacres committed by the Israeli occupation against the Palestinian people are not merely numbers; they are painful human stories and innocent lives lost brutally. On this page, we document these massacres to preserve our collective memory and to convey to the world the reality of the oppression and crimes against humanity. We are here to assert that justice remains our demand and that the sacrifices of our martyrs will not be in vain.
Complete Destruction of a Residential Block – Rafah
On March 18, 2024, Israeli occupation aircraft bombed an entire residential block in Al-Shaboura camp in the center of Rafah, resulting in the martyrdom of several individuals and injuring dozens more. The wounded were transported to Al-Kuwaiti Hospital for medical treatment.
Struggles with Cooking Gas Shortage
Due to the shortage of cooking gas, citizens have resorted -over the past several months- to alternative and primitive methods of cooking, using firewood and charcoal. This has led to numerous individuals suffering from respiratory illnesses caused by the burning of plastic and chemical materials to ignite the fires, which release toxic gases into the air.
Rami Abu Humaida – Martyr of Livelihood
On March 1, 2024, Israeli occupation forces targeted Palestinians from northern Gaza Strip near Al-Nabulsi roundabout, southwest of Gaza City. They were waiting for humanitarian aid to ease their hunger, but instead of receiving a handful of flour, they returned in shrouds, becoming martyrs in pursuit of sustenance. Fifty martyrs were taken to Shuhada Al-Aqsa Hospital, while other martyrs remain on the ground along the coastline, roads, and near Al-Nabulsi roundabout, surrounded by tanks and bombarded by Israeli aircraft, preventing anyone from retrieving their bodies.
