More than the total dropped on Dresden, Hamburg and London combined during the whole of WWII
A permanent representative to the United Nations has published a shocking statistic about the amount of explosive dropped on tiny Gaza by Israel since 7 October last year.
Mohamad Safa, who represents PVA (Patriotic Vision), a non-governmental organisation (NGO) accredited by the United Nations, has revealed that Israel more than 75,000 tons of explosive during the first two hundred days of its genocidal assault on Gaza – more than the total dropped on three of the most-bombed cities during the Second World War: London, Dresden and Hamburg. The news has also been reported by Al Jazeera, but largely ignored by the UK ‘mainstream’ media.
And the figure was current after two hundred days of the mass murder – today (5 June 2024) is day 242. As many as 100,000 people – and at least well over 40,000 – have been murdered in Gaza during the genocide so far, with twice as many maimed. The vast majority has been women and children.
The war crimes of Israel and every government and company that abets it are abhorrent.
