Apartment blocks, shops and streets lie in ruins amid a humanitarian catastrophe that has displaced at least 1.5 million people from their homes and left more than 11,000 Palestinians dead, according to officials in Gaza.

  • Isnt this the risk you expose yourself to when you resort to violence? Diplomacy and compromise could have prevented all this.

    Lesson to learn: Don't let a group of men dig tunnels near your apartment building.

    Alternate title: Gaza City before and after Oct. 7
  • @JosephProsnitz1
    was it an open air prison or just a city? Looks more liveable than places I have visited in America
  • @daveshn
    That's the nicest looking open-air prison I've ever seen.
  • @DCSP-ke1ek
    Guardian should have shown dancing in the street before, and crying in the street after.
  • @Hmonks
    October 7th is the result of this maybe everyone should of thought about it
  • @jameshull7261
    Why is one video colored and the other one almost greyscale 😂😂
  • @gregbrown5129
    So in other words, the description of Gaza as an open air prison was a lie. It was actually a pretty nice place until Hamas got it destroyed.
  • @btruboff
    I’m confused I thought it was an open air prison before the war?
  • @ProfYaffle
    Could have been even nicer if aud money hadn't gone into making tunnels
  • @SetWillBill
    Yes, as many had argue, if all the aids money has been used for building the infrastructure and economic development projects, Gaza would be like Singapore, a vibrant metropolitan city! But it goes to into the pockets of Hamas top leaders and the building of the tunnels. While the Gazans lived in poverty and these top leaders lived in luxury. Yet many accused Israel of being a apartheid state and Gaza a open air prison. It just showed the “poverty” of knowledge in these people who accused Israel.
  • @BaKa-rm3vt
    How surprising that the guardian news does not show the rocket launchers and Hamas parades in the "Before" Maybe they have a narrative to support?
  • @attermire2109
    The Guinness Book of World Records needs to check if Palestinians celebrations on Oct 7th were the shortest on record.
  • @ZinaKlien
    Pls show the kibbutz before and after that were hit during October 7th
