I seriously hate that the headline can be applied to the news a week back, a month back, two years back, and a decade back.

Anytime since 1948.

That's not even newsworthy. Aren't they up to about 15,000 killed since October?

Close to 30,000 if we count the people unaccounted for and missing under the rubble. This was on Dec 27, so I’m sure we passed 30,000 by now.

more than 1.920 million displaced people in the Gaza Strip who remain without a safe shelter amid inhumane conditions.

That's 83% of the total population, plus 1.3% of the total population killed and 2.2% (conservative estimate) injured.

It's in stark contrast to Israel's recent strike in Beirut. There can be no doubt anymore that what's happening in Palestine is ethnic cleansing.

Please don't get desensitised. It's good to report every incident, that's the media's job.

Last I saw was over 20,000 a couple of weeks ago.

And 70 percent of their house were also damaged or destroyed.

Still no clean water or food. These people who are starving to death, along with diceses, and cold as we enter winter.

Yet, world leaders refuse to use the word ceasefire.

Understatement of the millennium.
