No shame: Lawnmowers flushing out final remnants from northern Gaza in full glare of Israeli television

At least 100,000 Palestinians have been forced to leave northern Gaza in the last 24 hours, the UN reported Sunday, as the already catastrophic conditions spiral into blood-soaked insanity amid Israel’s relentless airstrikes and stomach-wrenching famine.
“Chaos, suffering, despair, death, and destruction in northern Gaza is a daily reality as access is at a low point,” stated Jens Laerke, spokesperson for the UN Humanitarian Coordination Office (OCHA), told The Cradle in Geneva earlier Monday morning.
All indicators in Gaza are blazing that “we’re going in the wrong direction,” Laerke added.
“Displacement is at a high point, and it is near impossible to deliver aid in there,” he warned.
Staff working on the ground all testify that UN efforts to deliver aid are being “stifled.”
“One of my colleagues described it as, from a human front for a humanitarian worker, which he is, [that] when you are faced with a situation like that, you want to jump. You want to jump up and do something. But what he added was, our legs are broken; we’re asked to jump, but our legs are broken. That is the picture of it right now.”
Israel is seeking to implement the “Generals’ Plan” by forcibly displacing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their homes in Jabalia, Beit Lahia, and Beit Hanoun while starving or killing anyone who remains behind.
Israel’s Channel 12 TV recently showed starving and thirsty Palestinians fleeing through one of the Israeli army’s “drainage points” in Jabalia. There, soldiers abduct fleeing men and some of the boys, claiming they are Hamas members, while terrified women and children scatter, carrying whatever possessions they can.
The Channel 12 “Palestinian Affairs Correspondent,” Ohad Hemo, then “interviews” desperate and terrorized women and children to try solicit anti-Hamas comments to justify their treatment as they walk through the post-apocalyptic landscape.
