This recording, although short, tells a gripping, full of sorrow story of a man who lost everything he had in a matter of moments. "I have no home or store," says the devastated Palestinian. He sits among the ruins and wipes away his tears. In the background, you can see massive destruction.
The Gaza Strip is small, yet one of the most densely populated areas in the world. It is inhabited by over two million people, mainly Palestinians. According to the latest information provided by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, already over 260 thousand residents of the Gaza Strip had to flee from their homes.
Israel has conducted airstrikes on the Gaza Strip in retaliation for a Hamas attack. The situation is dynamic, and the number of victims is increasing. Local authorities report that currently, the number of victims in the Gaza Strip is 1055 people, and over 5,000 are injured.

A Palestinian among the ruins. This recording moved internet users
In recent days, recordings from many European cities have circulated on social media. They captured the joy of Palestinians, who in various ways ''celebrated'' the Hamas attack on Israel.
The Palestinians seen in the footage are happy because they live far from the nightmare of war. And yet, it is the civilian population that pays the highest price in this situation.
In the video posted on portal X (formerly Twitter), we see a Palestinian sitting amidst ruins. From the recording, we learn that as a result of Israeli air strikes, the man lost everything — his home and store. It's a symbolic, captivating image. The Palestinian has nowhere to go. His life has turned into a nightmare in a few moments.
The man wipes his tears, he is disheartened. Next to him lie two large stuffed animals. It is unclear whether they belonged to the Palestinian children or were for sale in the store he owned.
The total number of fatalities on both sides of the conflict now exceeds over 2,200.
