Morning prayer in a school-turned-shelter. Israeli forces, using bombs made in the USA, incinerate the shelter, killing 93 Palestinians inside.

Because the bomb had shredded the bodies so thoroughly, doctors had to collect body parts in bags and considered every 70 kilograms of body parts to be a person killed. They distributed these bags to families whose family members were missing after the strike.

Meanwhile, at the White House:

The White House said in a statement on Saturday that it was “deeply concerned” over reports of the bombing. But that same day, the State Department announced that it was releasing a whopping $3.5 billion to Israel to spend on U.S. weapons and military equipment that had been previously approved by Congress. This comes on top of the $6.5 billion in military assistance that the U.S. has sent Israel since October; and the decades of arms deals leading up to the current genocide that have helped paved the way to this moment.

The Administration is “deeply concerned,” but not concerned enough to stop supplying Israel with these weapons of carnage.

Melted flesh was scraped up, weighed, and put in trash bags to give to family members of the dead.
