  • Palestinians in Gaza are sharing videos under the hashtag #TheyLiedToYou, accusing the international community of deception regarding the ongoing conflict.
  • The videos depict tent camps, bomb craters, and contaminated drinking water, highlighting the harsh realities faced by civilians.
  • The article suggests that despite a ceasefire, bombs continue to fall, and Israel intensified attacks after Hamas agreed to a key demand.

Under the hashtag #TheyLiedToYou, tens of thousands of videos are circulating from Gaza, accusing the international community of deception. These posts showcase images of tent encampments, smoking bomb craters, and contaminated drinking water, painting a grim picture of the humanitarian situation.

The article questions the narrative surrounding the conflict, suggesting that the world has been misled. It points to the ongoing fall of bombs over Gaza, even during a supposed ten-month ceasefire. The situation has reportedly intensified, with Israel reportedly escalating attacks after Hamas agreed to a significant demand.

This sentiment is reflected in the shared content, which aims to expose what users perceive as a disconnect between international perceptions and the lived reality in Gaza. The hashtag itself implies a betrayal, suggesting that promises or assurances made to the outside world have not aligned with the actions on the ground.
