Across Gaza, residential areas have been left ruined, previously busy shopping streets reduced to rubble, universities destroyed and farmlands churned up, with tent cities springing up on the southern border to house many thousands of people left homeless.
About 1.7 million people - more than 80% of Gaza’s population - are displaced, with nearly half crammed in the far southern end of the strip, according to the United Nations.
Further analysis, by BBC Verify, reveals the scale of destruction of farmland, identifying multiple areas of extensive damage.
If there is nothing there to eat or places to live or anything at all then relocation of all Palestinians is necessary. That is how Israel will spin it to the world when they ask their neighbors and the world at large to take in the Palestinian refugees.
Don’t worry, Israel has a strong law of return. Once the infastructure is rebuilt; everyone with at least 1 Jewish grandparent will be allowed to return to Gaza.
Of course, calling for a right of return for the people who were literally just forced out will be a complete non starter.
The survivors, after the ones that Israel has already killed and the many, MANY more the deaths of whom by malnutrition and disease they’re currently very deliberately engineering.
