🇵🇸 The massive destruction in Azzahra city, south of Gaza city.
‘Nothing standing’: Palestinians return to find Gaza homes destroyed
It is day three of a four-day truce between Hamas and Israel.
The brief lull in Israeli attacks has given Palestinians time to take stock of the utter devastation of their homes and neighbourhoods. However, for many, only rubble waited where their homes once stood.
After a delay of several hours, the exchange of a second group of Israeli captives held in Gaza for Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails has taken place.

🇵🇸 Leaving with a broken heart: A photographer’s journey out of Gaza | The Electronic Intifada
"Life was beautiful,” #photojournalist Mahmoud Nasser. "Everything about Gaza is amazing,” he explained. "But I don’t know if I can say the same about it now because it seems like everything has changed. The things that I loved when I was there, I don’t think they are there anymore."
Mahmoud described the agonizing decisions he and his family had to make while under constant threat of Israeli bombing, especially as residents of Beit Hanoun in the north of the Gaza Strip.“In 2014, we lost our generational home in Beit Hanoun due to the war,” he said, referring to the Israeli attacks that summer. “But when this war broke out, I wasn’t in #BeitHanoun – my father was there, I was with my wife in #Gaza City.
When the current attacks started, Mahmoud said, he and his brother ultimately decided to bring their father to #GazaCity.

🇵🇸 Israel arrests, tortures Gaza doctors while world watches | Electronic Intifada
We were joined by Tarek Loubani, an emergency room physician based in Canada who has worked for years inside al-Shifa hospital in #GazaCity
He discussed the #abduction and #arrest of some of his colleagues by Israeli forces over the last few weeks, including Dr. Muhammad Abu Salmiya, the director of #AlShifa #hospital.
Tarek explained that the Israelis’ intention in taking and arresting these physicians, and subjecting them to physical and psychological torture, is meant to break the back of the #healthcare system even further in #Gaza.
“I don’t think any of them really expected, especially under the flag of the #ICRC [International Committee of the Red Cross], for them to be subject to that kind of arrest,” Tarek said.
#AbuSalmiya’s arrest, “is a classic example of how the Israeli system works: it took him in with no charges, for no reason, it’s keeping him for a very specific purpose.”
