Student in Gaza: Ceasefire With Israel Is the 'Biggest Lie'

Israel has continued committing massacres on an almost daily basis since agreeing to end hostilities in October last year, while denying the entry of food, medicine and other essential supplies to the strip as part of its genocidal blockade. A UN commission found last year that Israel has used airstrikes, shelling, burning and controlled demolitions to damage and destroy more than 90% of Gaza’s school and university buildings.
