According to the Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health, more than 21,500 people have already died in Gaza. The footage in the video can shock you.

Israel has continued strong attacks on Gaza during the New Year.

According to the Ministry of Health under the extremist organization Hamas, more than 180 Palestinians have died in attacks in the past 24 hours.

At the same time, tens of thousands have had to flee from the Israeli tanks rolling in from the central parts of Gaza. A large part of the refugees had already had to leave their homes in the northern parts of the strip.

Israel has ordered civilians to move south. However, it is not safe there either.

Last night, Israel again struck the southern Gaza city of Rafah. According to the Palestinians, 20 people were killed and 55 injured in the attack.

A photographer from the news agency Reuters witnessed in Rafah how Palestinian children were rescued from the ruins of a destroyed building.

– We were sleeping in our homes, and then suddenly we heard an explosion and stones started falling. I opened the window and heard the neighbors calling for help. So we went there and found a two-story house full of women and children who had escaped from elsewhere. The house had collapsed on them, the neighbor lived Sanad Abu Tabet told Reuters.

Abu Tabet says he is frustrated that the attacks continue day after day.

– We have been asking for help for three months, and no one is listening. We say this again: help us!

Last week, an American newspaper The New York Times published a report, according to which Israel has used its most destructive bombs in the southern parts of Gaza. That is, in the same areas where Israel has ordered civilians to seek shelter.

80 percent fled their homes

In total, more than 21,500 people have died in Gaza during the war, according to the Ministry of Health under Hamas. Most of them are children and women.

The figures have not been confirmed by independent sources, but in previous wars the information reported by the Ministry of Health has been reliable. Israel has also spoken about similar numbers of victims.

According to the UN refugee agency UNRWA, which helps the Palestinians, as many as 80 percent of the population of Gaza have had to flee their homes.

UNRWA also says that more than 300 Palestinians who sought refuge in UN facilities have died in Israeli airstrikes during the war.

The United States has demanded more from Israel to protect civilians, but Israel has shown no signs of slowing down its hostilities.

It has said it will continue its fight in Gaza until Hamas is destroyed. Israel has also blamed the civilian casualties on Hamas, which has used civilian targets as cover.

Israel began military operations in Gaza after Hamas launched a terrorist attack on Israel. 1,200 Israelis were killed in the attack, and more than 240 hostages were taken by Hamas. According to Israel, more than half of them are still imprisoned.
