At least 100 Palestinian civilians, including children, were killed at dawn on Saturday after Israeli forces targeted a school in Gaza City whilst displaced people performed morning prayers.
Videos obtained by Middle East Eye showed charred bodies and limbs strewn across a concrete floor, as people scrambled to find their loved ones following the attacks.
Gaza’s civil defence agency described the attack as a “horrific massacre,” and said three Israeli rockets hit the Tabin school, located in Gaza City’s al-Daraj district, whilst Palestinians performed early morning Fajr prayers.
Surprisingly most people don’t know what these aftermaths looks like. For Palestinians the news shows bodies wrapped in cloth which makes the situation seem far less brutal than it is.
The reason most people were so outraged about Ukraine being invaded is because the news started showing gore images of attacks. This very rarely happens for Palestinians.
Nobody has to click the picture of course, I put trigger warnings in front of it for people who can’t handle this material. But seeing the reality of the situation does help evoke more empathy than a simple picture of bodies wrapped in cloth.
