Before dawn on Thursday, 17 April, Israeli airstrikes across Gaza targeted displaced families living in tents in three separate places – in al-Mawasi Khan Younis in southern Gaza, Deir al-Balah in the center and in Jabaliya in the north.

Journalists and eyewitnesses reported that the tents were engulfed in flames and the victims, including many children, were burned alive, with bystanders desperately trying to put the fires out.

A physician in northern Gaza, Dr. Ezzideen Shehab, who has been narrating this genocide on social media while caring for his patients, stated earlier this week that “after 556 days, Gaza is no longer a place. It is an experiment, a question posed to humanity: How long can a population be bombed, starved and displaced before it ceases to exist? And how quietly can this be done before the world looks away for good?”
