Lebanon War "Giving More Space" for Israel to Keep Up Slaughter in Gaza: Journalist Akram al-Satarri



As Israel's military escalates its attacks on Lebanon, it has continued its relentless bombardment of the Gaza Strip, where almost a year of war has now wiped 902 entire Palestinian families off the civil registry. There are another 1,300 families where only one family member has survived. The official death toll in Gaza has reached nearly 41,800, but that is believed to be a vast undercount. Gaza-based journalist Akram al-Satarri says one year into Israel's war, the medical and humanitarian crisis remains unchanged. He describes some of the horrific injuries suffered by Palestinians, including many children, that have resulted in mass amputation of limbs, and says people are in a constant struggle for shelter and safety. "The suffering is continuous, and now the war in Lebanon is adding further burdens on the Palestinians and is giving more space for the Israeli forces to continue the bombardment in different areas," says al-Satarri.

reduced on Gaza and now is more over to Iran, Lebanon and Syria. The reduction in visibility for Gaza helps Netanyahu while the IDF does things in the Lebanon/Syria sphere like they just did with bombing one of the only evacuation routes from Lebanon to Syria making it unusable while people were trying to flee the violence. The beat goes on.
