Israeli forces are pushing deeper into Gaza City as the full-fledged military ground invasion continues despite mounting international condemnation. Hundreds of thousands of people have been forced to flee Gaza City, where nearly 1 million Palestinians have been living among rubble and ruins ahead of Israel's ground offensive. "Just open your eyes and look at what's unfolding there," says Muhammad Shehada, a writer and analyst from Gaza. "It's impossible to see what's happening and conclude that there's anything else but genocide unfolding."
