Gaza City before and after: footage shows destruction wreaked by war

Hamas's 7 October attack on Israel triggered a declaration of war and a military response by Israel that has reduced large parts of Gaza to rubble.

Apartment blocks, shops and streets lie in ruins amid a humanitarian catastrophe that has displaced at least 1.5 million people from their homes and left more than 11,000 Palestinians dead, according to officials in Gaza.

was it an open air prison or just a city? Looks more liveable than places I have visited in America

[daveshn]

That's the nicest looking open-air prison I've ever seen.

[PeterBrasso]

If only nothing happened on Oct 7
Would still be like this

[tylerkriesel]

Looked like such an “open air prison” before.

[danibrown]

Look at what their terrorist leaders did

[gurkagurkadurka]

Isnt this the risk you expose yourself to when you resort to violence?

Diplomacy and compromise could have prevented all this.

Guardian should have shown dancing in the street before, and crying in the street after.

[josephinemouse]

Remarkable how intact it is compared to Bakhmut and Mariupol

[Sturgeon]

They had a ceasefire on Oct 6. They chose to break it and now they will not get another one.

what's with the camera filter? seems dishonest.

Alternate title:

Gaza City before and after Oct. 7

[mediastarguest]

But wasn't it said to be the "world's largest open prison ?"

[gregbrown]

So in other words, the description of Gaza as an open air prison was a lie. It was actually a pretty nice place until Hamas got it destroyed.

[borismedovar]

Remember: before it's the world's biggest 'open air prison'

[meatpopsicle]

So much for the "open air prison" image that was being painted earlier!

[btruboff]

I’m confused I thought it was an open air prison before the war?

[ZinaKlien]

Pls show the kibbutz before and after that were hit during October 7th

[garyboss]

When will the hostages return? Prayers for all the hostages .

[hshrqwj]

Hamas got 10 billion$ from Qatar in the last 2 years!
But most of the money and resources went to build terror tunnels, weapons and rockets.
So this is how a city looks like when you choose terror over peaceful living.

Hamas went hunting on October 7 nd they came back home with this
