Journalist on Israeli escalation of killing and bombing in Gaza on the anniversary of the so-called ceasefire

Original Social Media Post

"“The world is silent, asleep, neither feeling nor seeing,” a Palestinian journalist says from Gaza City moments after an Israeli occupation airstrike flattened a residential building of four floors or more near Al-Shifa Hospital, in the west of the city. He reports that on the same day, the Israeli occupation army also bombed a residential building in Shuja’iyya, east of Gaza City, after ordering residents out, and another building to the northwest, on top of strikes in recent weeks on homes, tents and displaced families across the south, centre and north of the Strip. He says the international silence has given the Israeli occupation room to escalate day after day, and he asks people to start speaking about Gaza again the way they did when the genocide began. The bombing comes a year after the ceasefire took effect, a period in which the Israeli occupation has killed 1,471 Palestinians and wounded 5,189, according to Palestinian figures. ali.a.aljafarawi2 (IG)" - Source
