Gaza Rubble Revealed, U.S. Defends Israel's 'Right to Defend Itself'
Newsy
U.S. faced with quandary of rebuilding from the rubble in Gaza without restocking Hamas militants.
As a cease-fire held out over the weekend in the Mideast, we’re seeing images of Gaza destruction there from hundreds of Israeli airstrikes...Drone video and photos show some city blocks reduced to rubble. "The current estimates are around 300 buildings, which translates into over 1,000 housing units that have been absolutely destroyed and then of course there are many hundreds that have been partially destroyed and probably are inhabitable right now," said Lynn Hastings, humanitarian coordinator of the Palestinian territory, said. "There has been a total of six hospitals, 11 primary health care centers that have been damaged and one hospital not functioning currently because of electricity." The question now….what comes next? Internal pressure is said to mounting against the western-backed Palestinian Authority and its president Mahmoud Abbas... while support for the militant Hamas is reportedly growing.More Related News
