Humanity for Gaza has published a video showing disturbing scenes of casualties and people fleeing after another Israeli airstrike on the so-called ‘safe zone’ of al-Mawasi, where hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are sheltering with makeshift tents after having been ordered to go there by the Israeli military.

In a preliminary tally, the number of those killed has risen to 41,226, most of whom are women and children, and the number of wounded has risen to more than 95,413, since the start of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip on October 7.
Among the slain Palestinians are at least 16,640 children, 11,410 women, 183 journalists and 23 emergency responders, 885 medical staff, 82 Civil Defense staff, and 211 UNRWA staff.
Most experts estimate the death toll is much higher – and could be as high as 200,000, when counting both direct and indirect deaths related to the Israeli war on Gaza that began October 7th 2023 when 1100 Israelis were killed, including 700 civilians, inside Israel. Around 500 Israeli soldiers have been killed between October 7th and now – both in Gaza and on the Israeli border with Lebanon.
