More than a year has now passed since the war broke out between Israel and Hamas. The conflict in Gaza has been going on since Hamas attacked Israel on October 7 last year. Now heartbreaking pictures have emerged from war-torn Gaza. In these pictures, stray dogs are seen eating abandoned dead bodies. Gaza's emergency services chief Fares Afana said he and his colleagues found bodies of Palestinians killed in northern Gaza, many of which bore signs of being eaten by animals.
“Hungry stray dogs are eating these bodies on the road. This is making it difficult for us to even identify the bodies,” Fares Afana told CNN. Referring to the air and ground attacks in northern Gaza and Jabaliya area, he said that the havoc of the Israeli army continues. Now Gaza, which is grappling with tragedy, is not able to even cremate the dead bodies. Israel has claimed that Hamas fighters are regrouping in these areas.
'The situation is getting worse'
On October 7 last year, Hamas attacked Israel. 1,206 people were killed in these attacks, most of whom were civilians. Since then, 42,409 people have been killed in Gaza due to Israeli attacks while more than 99,153 people have been injured. On Wednesday, the Gaza Health Ministry said that 65 Palestinians had been killed in Israeli military attacks in the last 24 hours. Afana reported that on Monday Israeli soldiers fired on hungry people searching for food in a relief camp center run by the United Nations Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA). “The situation is getting worse. What is happening in northern Gaza is truly genocide,” he said.
Fear of famine in Gaza
Meanwhile, UNRWA warned on Wednesday of the risk of famine in Gaza. In a press conference, UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini said that famine and acute malnutrition remain in Gaza. He said that it has become a kind of wasteland and it is not even habitable.
