Gaza’s Disappearance: WJWC Report Documents 100 Days of Fragmentation, Destruction, and Displacement

Women Journalists Without Chains (WJWC) has released a comprehensive report laying bare the extent of devastation inflicted on the Gaza Strip over the past 100 days.

The report, The Land and Everything on It: 100 Days of Fragmentation and Erasure in Gaza, paints a stark picture of a territory being systematically dismantled through relentless military operations, forced displacement, and the destruction of critical infrastructure.

Since the collapse of a fragile ceasefire in March, the Israeli military has intensified its campaign in Gaza, with consequences that WJWC describes as catastrophic. The report estimates that 92 percent of Gaza’s housing has been destroyed or rendered uninhabitable, leaving millions without shelter and communities shattered. Schools, hospitals, and places of refuge have been reduced to rubble.

“What is happening in Gaza is not only a humanitarian catastrophe,” the report warns, “but a calculated attempt to erase a people’s presence on their land — piece by piece, life by life.”

Drawing on a wide range of credible sources — including United Nations agencies, Palestinian institutions, Israeli media, and local eyewitness accounts — the report details how Gaza’s geography has been redrawn into isolated, overcrowded enclaves. Areas labeled as “humanitarian zones” have offered no real protection, with civilians bombed in shelters, schools, and aid distribution points.

The report highlights the creation of buffer zones, military corridors, and combat zones that have emptied large parts of the territory of its residents. WJWC argues that these measures are not temporary wartime tactics but part of a long-term plan to forcibly reshape Gaza’s demographic and physical landscape.

“The destruction of homes, hospitals, farms, and vital infrastructure is not incidental damage. It is the outcome of policies designed to make life impossible, to force people from their land, and to seal their displacement with rubble and barbed wire,” the report states.

Particularly alarming, the report notes, are statements by senior Israeli officials that openly speak of Gaza as a place no longer fit for human life, and of plans to find “third countries” to absorb its population. WJWC warns that such rhetoric, combined with military action on the ground, points to violations that meet the legal definitions of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide under international law.

In response, WJWC is urging the international community to act decisively. Among its recommendations are the suspension of all military and political support that enables the destruction of Gaza, the immediate and unrestricted delivery of humanitarian aid, and full support for legal proceedings aimed at holding those responsible accountable.

“Gaza’s future hangs in the balance,” WJWC concludes. “What is at stake is not just the survival of a land, but the survival of its people — and the principles of justice and humanity that bind the world together.”
