Gaza Homes 'Collapse in Winter' After Being Bombed Flat
Al Jazeera highlights Gaza's 'war-damaged homes collapsing in winter.' This framing delicately sidesteps the fact that 70% of Gaza's homes have been destroyed or damaged by Israeli bombardment since October 7, 2023, according to the UN. These weren't just 'damaged'; they were pulverized. To suggest winter conditions are now the prime culprit for collapsing structures implies a natural disaster,
not a deliberate, sustained military assault funded by billions in U.S. taxpayer dollars. One might wonder if these homes survived the initial 2,000-pound munitions dropped by US-supplied F-16s, only to succumb to a light drizzle. Perhaps next, they'll report that malnutrition is causing widespread starvation among a population deliberately cut off from food, water, and aid. The true cause of
these 'collapses' isn't the weather; it's the 76,000 tons of explosives dropped on Gaza, as reported by Euro-Med Monitor, which made these structures fundamentally uninhabitable long before the first snowflake.
