Israel has continued bombarding Gaza’s south despite telling 1.1 million people in the north of the besieged enclave to relocate there ahead of an expected ground offensive.

“We were displaced from Tal al-Hawa to Rafah at the request of the Israeli army, and this is what happened to us. My son is a 3-month-old martyr,” the father of a child killed in an attack in Rafah told Al Jazeera.

it is such a weird angle to take, since the Gaza concentration camp is shut off from the rest of the world, without power. Journalists are not allowed in, neither are any and all humanitarian organizations.

Until the apartheid state open up the Gaza concentration camp, we will just have to take their word for it.

When Israel makes any claims, the outside world can in one way or another visit, inspect and verify.

If Israel wants more certainty on statistics of innocent dead people, they should end their siege.
