October 9, 2024โข259 words
The scale of the casualties in the Gaza Strip since October 2023, with approximately 43,000 deaths, mostly women, children, and the elderly is atrocious, an absolute historical mass murder of innocent civilians, victims of "collective punishment" as the Israeli military and government describe their mass murder of the Gazan civilians.
43,000 Palestinians killed out of 2.2 million is a staggering comparison to Canadaโs population.
If we translate this figure to a proportion of Canadaโs 40 million population, it would equate to around 750,000 Canadians being killed by bombs!
This hypothetical scenario paints an International crime against humanity, illustrating the enormous human cost of children, women and elderly have experienced. 43,000 mutilated and torn apart bodies would be everywhere in that small area of the Gaza Strip. The smell of death would be everywhere in the Gaza Strip.
Every square foot lay dead bodies of the Gaza Strip. The small parcel of land of the Palestinians is a crime scene. A murderous crime scene by the Israeli military.
To visualize 2% of Canada's population, approximately 750,000 people, mainly women, children and elderly, imagine the population of Canada's capital city, Ottawa, being wiped out like the Gaza Strip, bombed for 11 months everyday, with over 80,000 tons of explosives, the magnitude of the loss is staggering. A profound humanitarian crisis due to the atrocities the Palestinians are facing.
As a whole, the Middle East societies are experiencing trauma, due to the amount of atrocities Palestinians are facing everyday.
