Following a long ceasefire, Palestinians returning to Gaza are met with widespread destruction, leading critics to characterize Israel's actions as a systematic destruction of life. International rights groups claim this adds to evidence of genocide against Palestinians, while Israel contests that the damage resulted from military operations. Reported UN assessments indicate over 60,000 buildings destroyed and severe damage to an additional 20,000. The establishment of buffer zones has further contributed to the dereliction, as vast areas of Gaza have been razed to the ground.
As Palestinians return home, mounds of rubble stretch across Gaza's refugee camps and cities, confronting them with an apocalyptic landscape of devastation.
Critics say Israel has waged a campaign of scorched earth to destroy the fabric of life in Gaza, with accusations of genocide being considered in global courts.
