The Sorrows of Gaza

The campaign #support Gaza is running on facebook. But in real the Childs are dying, Bombs are blasting; air strikes are common incident in Palestine life. The Sorrows of Gaza is hurting the general people but the world leader are silent. Why? The sorrow never touches them? Israel carried out 60 air strikes, targeting the TV and radio stations and other sites associated with Hamas, the group which controls Gaza. At least 60 Palestinians were killed, according to local health officials. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel would continue to act until it had achieved its aims. In a televised address, he stressed the need to destroy tunnels dug under the Gaza-Israel border, to prevent militants infiltrating Israel. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon expressed concern that Israel was reported to be dropping leaflets warning residents in northern Gaza to leave. He said UN agencies there did not have the resources to help an extra influx of people. Israel says it issues such warnings to try to avoid civilian casualties. Palestinian officials say 1,115 Palestinians, most of them civilians, have been killed in the fighting since 8 July while Israel has lost 53 soldiers and three civilians – two Israelis and a Thai worker. In another development, Iran`s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, accused Israel of acting like a “rabid dog” and called on Muslims to arm Palestinians to enable them to fight back against “genocide”. `Buried under rubble` Fifty-five houses were destroyed in Israeli operations overnight, with people buried under rubble in at least three of them, Palestinian security sources told the BBC. The unoccupied house of former Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh was destroyed. Nine other buildings were targeted, and three mosques and four factories were also destroyed. As well as Hamas TV and radio stations, government buildings, including the finance ministry and a compound belonging to the interior ministry, were attacked. Gaza`s port was also destroyed, Palestinian security sources told the BBC, and two schools and a kindergarten were on fire after being hit. According to the health ministry, in the past 24 hours 110 people were killed, 60 of them since midnight local time (21:00 GMT Monday). Seven families were “wiped out” during the night, the ministry said. The military wing of Hamas said it had fired 14 rockets during the night. `Painful day` Five Israeli soldiers were killed on Monday when militants infiltrated the border, while a mortar bomb killed four earlier and a tenth died in a clash in southern Gaza, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said. In his address on Monday night, Mr Netanyahu said Gaza had to be demilitarised in order to protect Israel. “We will not finish the operation without neutralising the tunnels, which have the sole purpose of destroying our citizens, killing our children,” he said. “We will continue to act aggressively and responsibly until the mission is completed to protect our citizens, soldiers and children.” Israel`s Operation Protective Edge began on 8 July after a surge in militant rocket attacks.
