Over recent days, Gaza has suffered some of its bloodiest and deadliest moments in the brutal nine-month war. So-called “safe zones”, tents, and schools have been targeted by Israeli bombs, killing hundreds of people — mostly women and children.

The real worry now is that as the war drags on, and with no ceasefire in sight, the world will become complacent about what is happening, and that the killings will become the new normal.
