Hossam Shabat, Momin Abuowda, and Abood Abo Salama are reporting dozens of bodies strewn across the street of one Jabaliya neighborhood after the IOF’s latest days-long assault. Many of them are either decomposed or burned beyond recognition.

Hossam reports that he and several others went to retrieve the bodies of the Abu Salah family, who were executed point-blank in a UN shelter by the IOF. However, they found that the bodies had not only been moved and dumped in a heap, but also desecrated by the IOF. The IOF also dug up nearby graves for the purpose of desecrating them.

The horror of unburied bodies left to rot in the streets by the IOF has been described by several people on the ground. Ismail Al-Ghoul documented how the IOF razed the Sheikh Shaaban cemetery and left the desecrated bodies exposed. Abood Abo Salama has documented previous instances of bodies being left in the streets as well.

This is not only a moral crisis of desecrating the dead, but a public health crisis as well. Dr. Tamer Al-Najjar has warned that unburied bodies in urban areas can spread extremely dangerous bacteria and other disease vectors. This is worsened by the recent flooding, the accumulation of sewage after the destruction of sewer and water treatment infrastructure, as well as the congregation of rats and other vermin around massive heaps of trash which cannot be removed due to the destruction of waste management infrastructure.

Warning: Momin’s video, the second video of Hossam’s, and Abood’s videos are extremely graphic.

Photographer Abood Abusalama documents the story of 10-year-old Karam Mohammad Qaddah. Karam and his family had been at Al-Shifa Hospital, receiving treatment for a medical issue. After the occupation’s invaded Al-Shifa earlier this month, they withheld from him and all other patients food, water, medical treatment, and medicine. Nearly two weeks the occupation allowed his condition to deteriorate, refusing to allow him to leave for another hospital. Finally yesterday they permitted him to leave with his mother. He was taken on foot to Kamal Adwan Hospital, which is also suffering from a lack of food and medicine. Although the staff at Kamal Adwan tried their very best, Karam’s condition had deteriorated too severely in IOF captivity—he passed away today. The occupation watched this little boy slowly die, and only let him leave for treatment after he could not be saved.

They all have Instagram accounts, which I will link soon. In the mean time, I will put the known individuals’ names in the tags so you can search our posts and find links to their accounts. Tomorrow or the day after I will edit this post and add direct links.

Journalist Abood Abo Salama documents a group of small children at a shelter for displaced people in northern Gaza. The heavy rains and cold winter temperatures make life extremely difficult for people who have no roof over their heads. The children have built a small fire, and gather around it for warmth near a group of tents.
