Gaza conflict: Drone footage reveals extent of damage

5 September 2014 Last updated at 12:08 BST

In Gaza, families are slowing returning to their homes, but for many they will find them razed to the ground.

Drone footage reveals the extent of damage to Gaza City caused by the recent conflict with Israeli that lasted 50 days, until a ceasefire was brokered.

Between 8 July and 27 August, more than 2,100 Palestinians were killed in the Gaza Strip, along with 66 Israeli soldiers and seven civilians in Israel.

Last week, Israeli Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz told the BBC Hamas had "brought only misery and suffering on both sides".

more here on DU. Are people not interested or just don't want to see the unconscionable overkill wrought?

It's certainly not going to get any coverage in the MSM.
