66 years of Nakba, or “catastrophe” in the Middle East.

The Gaza Strip in Palestine has been bombed by Israeli soldiers, killing an estimated 26 women, 35 children and a little over 100 men. Injuries stand at a total of about 1,200 – these numbers stemming from the past week alone.

Leaflets, warning Gaza residents to get out of dodge, where flown and thrown out of aircrafts, but Hamas were telling them to stay in place. Some listened, others didn’t, which resulted in more deaths earlier this morning.

These attacks have caused an outrage all over the world and more-and-more are speaking out. These advocates agaisnt the attacks include, Waka Flocka, Tyrese, Swizz Beatz, French Montana and more. Hit the jump for the deets.

“I urgently call on the Israeli Security Forces to put an end to attacks against, or endangering, civilians and civilian infrastructure which are contrary to international humanitarian law,” said Pierre Krahenbuhl, commissioner general of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, or UNWRA.
