Twelve Days in Gaza: What Happened While the World Looked Away?
As global media focused on politics and pop culture, Gaza experienced one of its most brutal escalations in recent memory—twelve days of airstrikes, death, and silence.
🧨 The Timeline of Escalation
- Day 1–3: Israel launched airstrikes in response to rocket attacks, destroying civilian infrastructure.
- Day 4–6: Civilian casualties mounted. Human rights organizations issued urgent calls for restraint.
- Day 7–9: Blackouts and shortages hit Gaza. Communications were nearly cut off.
- Day 10–12: Violence spread to the West Bank. Ceasefire talks reportedly began behind closed doors.
💔 Civilian Suffering Amid the Silence
Hospitals were overwhelmed. Thousands were displaced. Social media tried to fill the gap left by mainstream media silence.

Analysts say political distractions, media fatigue, and global apathy led to insufficient coverage of the crisis in Gaza.
