DRONE - Israeli offensive leaves widespread devastation in Gaza neighborhoods

GAZA, PALESTINE - JAN. 20, 2025: The scale of destruction left by the Israeli army in the Shejaiya neighborhood of eastern Gaza was captured by a drone on Monday, Jan. 20. Footage shows the devastated neighborhood that has turned into a 'ghost town' following the airstrikes on residential buildings. Hundreds of Palestinian civilians were forced to flee their homes, which were reduced to rubble in the attacks. The Gaza ceasefire agreement took effect Sunday at 11.15 a.m. local time (0915GMT) after being delayed for a few hours due to Israel accusing the Palestinian group Hamas of delaying the discharge of a list of captives set to be released. Nearly 47,000 people have been killed, mostly women and children, and over 110,700 injured in Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023, according to local health authorities. The Israeli war has left more than 11,000 people missing, with widespread destruction and a humanitarian crisis that has claimed the lives of many elderly people and children in one of the worst global humanitarian disasters ever.
