Gaza: From dogs that devour corpses to pregnant women shot dead: an investigation by the Belgian newspaper Le Soir reveals the scale of the horrors which is beyond comprehension

This appalling article published in Le Soir, a major investigation signed by Baudouin Loos reveals the unspeakable horror hitting Gaza.

One year after the events of October 7, 2023, as the world gradually looks away, the reality on the ground is reaching levels of atrocity that defy human imagination and conscience. The testimonies collected by the Belgian journalist describe a situation which goes beyond the worst imaginable scenarios, where death has become the daily life of more than two million trapped human beings.

This in-depth investigation documents what the journalist describes as “death row”, through blood-curdling testimonies. The stories reported are terrifying and unbearable: stray dogs devouring human remains, rotting corpses littering the streets, systematically targeted hospitals where even pregnant women are slaughtered, apocalyptic destruction of civilian infrastructure, and a population of more than two million people facing slow or rapid death.

The article is based on multiple sources whose testimonies are overwhelming:

Jan Egeland of the Norwegian Refugee Council describes “destruction beyond belief”
UN officials speak of scenes “worthy of a slaughterhouse” and compare some bombings to “Nagasaki”
Aid workers describe daily atrocities
The human toll, exceeding 43,000 victims according to the estimates cited, continues to increase

We consider reading this article a duty of conscience. It is available on the Le Soir website, documenting what several observers, including Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur, no longer hesitate to describe as genocide.

For more than a year, the Israeli army has been waging a merciless fight against Hamas in the Gaza Strip that resembles a war against civilians. The wretched territory has suffered immense destruction and deaths continue to follow daily bombardments without the world reacting.
