NORTHERN GAZA STRIP — It’s completely quiet in a spot as soon as generally known as one of the vital densely populated on the planet.
The Israeli army took me and a small group of different worldwide journalists inside Gaza on Wednesday, practically one month into the ceasefire.
It was the primary time I had entered Gaza after two years of struggle.
We stood on the fringe of an Israeli army outpost, searching at what was the bustling Shujaiya neighborhood outdoors Gaza Metropolis.
It was the scene of fierce combating through the struggle. Now it’s a wasteland of destruction.
The tall high-rise buildings not demolished in Gaza Metropolis are seen within the far distance. Round them is an unlimited monochrome expanse so far as the attention can see.
Piles of concrete that was houses. Skeletons of colleges. Concrete beams standing within the filth like tall tombstones.
For years earlier than the struggle, I might enter Gaza each few months, to report for NPR. I keep in mind driving by the Shujaiyeh neighborhood on my technique to the middle of Gaza Metropolis.
Now it’s unrecognizable.
The ruins of Shujaiya in northern Gaza, the scene of fierce combating through the struggle and big destruction in Israeli strikes.
