New Zealand The Palestine Forum of New Zealand urgently draws attention to the escalating catastrophe in Gaza, where entire families are being left homeless and exposed under relentless bombardment.
In just 72 hours:
- Five high-rise buildings (more than seven floors, containing 209 apartments) were bombed. Each apartment sheltered at least 20 people, meaning over 4,100 children, women, and the elderly are now homeless.
- More than 350 tents were destroyed. Each tent sheltered around 10 displaced people, meaning 3,500 people lost their last refuge.
The catastrophic toll:
In total, around 550 families, nearly 7,600 people, have been left in the open, without food, water, or shelter, struggling against hunger, heat, and death.
“This is not collateral damage. This is the systematic extermination of a civilian population,” said a spokesperson for the Palestine Forum of New Zealand. “Every day, the world watches in silence as thousands of innocent lives are destroyed. The time for statements has passed; urgent action is required.”
Call to action:
The Palestine Forum of New Zealand calls on humanitarian organizations, governments, and the international community to act immediately to stop the annihilation of Gaza’s people and to provide urgent relief.
