The Associated Press reports<\/a> that dozens more civilians were killed in last night\u2019s airstrikes in northern Gaza:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was another night of killing and massacres,\u201d said Saeed Moustafa, a resident of the Nuseirat camp. He said people were still crying out from the rubble of a house hit by an airstrike on Wednesday.<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are unable to get them out. We hear their screams but we don\u2019t have equipment,\u201d he said.<\/i><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Among those killed in these strikes were 12 members of a journalist\u2019s family. Entire families are being annihilated<\/a> one airstrike at a time. In one such strike over the weekend, a UN Development Program staff member and over 70 members of his extended family were all killed<\/a>. Many extended families have suffered comparable losses. The Financial Times<\/i> reported<\/a> earlier this month:<\/p>\n

The tradition of extended families living together in multistorey buildings, compounded by relatives moving in together for safety in wartime, has meant that hundreds of multigenerational families have suffered the same fate as the Aghas, all but wiped out in single or multiple strikes. <\/i><\/p>\n

About 1,550 families have lost multiple members, according to health officials in the Hamas-controlled territory. At least 312 families had each lost more than 10 people by November 23, the officials said.<\/i><\/p>\n

Those numbers keep growing every day that this war is allowed to continue.<\/p>\n

Israel\u2019s military campaign has only intensified in the last few weeks. The Netanyahu government continues to ignore the Biden administration\u2019s empty warnings about complying with international law because they know that they face no consequences for anything that they do in this war. Biden sends one top official after another to Israel to make it look as if he is doing something, and each time the official reaffirms unwavering U.S. support for a campaign of mass killing that Washington pretends is something else.<\/p>\n
