Attacks on the Gaza Strip have been going on for 30 days. 81 thousand tons of bombs were dropped on Palestinians. This human tragedy, which has killed more than 40,000 Palestinians and forced millions to flee their homes, has already become one of the greatest disasters in history.

Bitter memories of the second world war, the most destructive in the history of the world, were remembered by events such as the rain of bombs on London, the dropping of atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the attacks on Dresden. But today's events in the Gaza Strip have paved the way for a catastrophe that dwarfs even those tragedies. Since October 7, 2023, the brutal airstrikes carried out by the Israeli army have caused the greatest destruction that humanity has ever seen.

In the Gaza Strip, where 81,000 tons of bombs were dropped, the lives of many people changed radically. Thousands of civilians, women and children were killed, and millions were forced to flee their homes.

Tel Aviv's disregard for international law clearly exposes the brutality of modern wars and the tragedy of humanity. This disaster in the Gaza Strip is happening before the eyes of the world community and is recorded as one of the blackest pages in history.

Nazi Germany's attempt to destroy Britain

During World War II, Nazi Germany carried out heavy air raids on London and other British cities. Hitler tried to force the enemy to surrender. During 1940-1941, the German Air Force dropped 20,000 tons of bombs on the city.

These attacks killed thousands of civilians, but failed to break the resistance of the British people. Although the London bombings are known as one of the deadliest air raids in history, the scale of destruction that occurred at the time was nowhere near what we see in modern warfare.

Nuclear strike on Japan

In 1945, the United States dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The bomb codenamed " Bolakay " dropped on Hiroshima caused an explosion with a capacity of 15,000 tons of TNT. The bomb codenamed " Bakaloq " dropped on Nagasaki caused no less destruction.

The bombs killed hundreds of thousands of people, led to Japan's surrender, and ended World War II. Also, the devastation left an indelible mark in the history of mankind and showed the whole world the terrible consequences of nuclear war.

The bombing of Dresden

Near the end of the war, the Allied forces launched a major air raid on the German city of Dresden. During the bombing of February 13-15, 1945, about 4 thousand tons of bombs were dropped.

The attack almost destroyed the city and killed many civilians. The incident caused great controversy in the post-war period, raising deep doubts about the ethics of attacks on civilian targets.

The devastation in the Gaza Strip has exceeded the scale of World War II

From October 7, 2023 to today, Israel dropped 81,000 tons of bombs on Gaza. This is more than the bombs dropped on London, Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Dresden.

So far, more than 40,000 Palestinians have been killed, and more than 90,000 people have been injured. 10,000 people are still missing. 70% of the victims are women and children.

The economic damage of Israeli attacks reached 33 billion dollars. The attacks resulted in the complete destruction of 150,000 houses, 80,000 houses were rendered unusable, and 200,000 buildings were partially destroyed.

In addition, 197 government buildings, 115 schools and universities were completely destroyed. 330 educational buildings were partially destroyed.

Gaza's infrastructure was also severely damaged. 34 hospitals and 68 polyclinics are out of order, 3,030 kilometers of power lines have become unusable. This devastation exacerbates the humanitarian crisis in the region.

2 million Palestinians were forced to move

Israeli attacks have forced 2 million Palestinians to flee their homes. A humanitarian disaster is unfolding in Gaza. Living in the region has become almost impossible.

Israel's policies have surpassed even the worst actions of World War II and will remain a black mark in human history.
