Urbicide: the murder of cities

Three hundred bombs a day dropped on Gaza.

Eight months of war have destroyed more than 55% of the structures in Gaza.

The term Urbicide refers to the deliberate, widespread destruction of the urban environment.

The bombs struck schools, hospitals, cultural and religious sites, water and electricity infrastructure, roads and bridges. Gaza City, Khan Younis and northern Gaza have been the hardest-hit areas.  

Destroying cities has historically been used as a way to evict people considered to be the enemy – recent examples include Sarajevo, Grozny in Chechnya, Aleppo in Syria, Mosul in Iraq, and Mariupol and Bucha in Ukraine.

As always, the Yemen Genocide in oblivion or deliberately eliminated by the Western corporate media.
