Viral: Israel's War on Gaza Remembered One Year on!

ALBAWABA - One year on, the world remembers the Israeli war on Gaza, a bloody aggression that started on 11 May and ended 11 days later on 21st of the same month with a ceasefire at much pressure from the international community accusing it of committing more war crimes under the eyes of the world.

This is the fourth Israeli war on Gaza since then.

The last Israeli aggression killed 256 men, women, children and the elderly. A total of 66 Palestinian children were killed by the one-sided war with around 470 kids injured.

Palestinian women also took a battering with 40 killed and 310 injured. 

The war displaced more that 120,000 people with about 1800 houses totally destroyed and and over 16,000 homes "partially destroyed" with 66 schools blazed and 33 hospitals and medical centers according to UN figures.
