Hi there,

The media can be the greatest force for peace on Earth. Instead, all too often, it’s wielded as a weapon of war. That's why we have to take the media back. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority – those calling for peace in a time of war, demanding action on the climate catastrophe and advocating for racial and economic justice. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Israeli Airstrikes Kill 45 People in Al-Maghazi Refugee Camp

HeadlineNov 06, 2023

At least 45 people were killed in an Israeli airstrike on the Al-Maghazi refugee camp Saturday. Al-Maghazi is located in the southern area in which Israel had told Gazans they should seek shelter to escape bombing up north. Photojournalist Mohammed Al-Aloul lost four of his five children and other family members in the attack on Al-Maghazi.

Mohammed al-Aloul: “The news began to trickle in slowly, telling me, 'Your daughter is wounded, your son is wounded.' I got in touch with colleagues at Al-Aqsa Hospital. I found my four children martyred: my only daughter; my oldest son Ahmed, the kind one, may God have mercy on him; Kenan, may God have mercy on him; Qais, may God have mercy on him.”

Israel continues to strike schools and health facilities in Gaza, including the areas around Al-Quds and Al-Shifa hospitals. Fresh strikes also took aim at the densely populated Jabaliya refugee camp Saturday, where Israeli killed dozens of residents.

Jabaliya resident 1: “I was standing here when three bombings happened. I carried a body and another decapitated body with my own hands.”

Jabaliya resident 2: Where should I go? They’ve hit the shelters. Those who are on the streets in Gaza are hit while walking. Since when has it become normal to strike shelters? This is so unfair. You walk on the street, you’re hit. And while you’re carrying the body to bury, they strike us. Where is the United Nations in this? Never in any war were shelters hit.”
