Gaza is drowning before the eyes of the world, tents are drowning with those inside them, and the rest of the destroyed houses are collapsing on the heads of their residents, while civil defense agencies, municipalities and aid institutions are facing a disaster that exceeds their exhausting capacities, against a background of an almost total inability to save what can be saved. Gaza today is a wretched orphan, without father or mother, left alone to face death, cold, drowning and abandonment.
