"Devastation and Despair: Israeli Bombing Leaves Gaza City in Ruins"

Israeli airstrikes targeted a residential square in Gaza City, destroying at least eight apartment buildings and trapping hundreds of people under the rubble. The death toll has risen to 120, with approximately 260 wounded and 300 still missing. Over the past 20 days, more than 7,000 Palestinians, including thousands of children, have been killed. The Gaza Strip's housing units have been severely damaged, with 45% destroyed or badly damaged. Palestinian officials accuse Israel of using internationally banned explosives, causing massive destruction to infrastructure. The UN warns that nowhere is safe in Gaza, as people are left with impossible choices amid the ongoing conflict.
