On May 14th 2024, the upper body of a Palestinian man was buried under rubble, and his body was turned upside down, with his lower body sticking out. This happened in Nuseirat, Gaza, after an Israeli air strike destroyed the building.

　　On May 14th 2024, in Nuseirat in the Gaza Strip, Palestinian rescue workers dug up the body of a man from the rubble of a building destroyed in an Israeli air strike. The upper half of the Palestinian man's body was buried in the rubble, and his body was inverted, with his lower half sticking out.

　　The UN has announced that more than half a million Palestinians have been displaced in recent days due to the intensification of Israel's military operations in Rafah and the north of Gaza. For a week from May 14th 2024, no food has come through the two main border crossings in southern Gaza. According to the UN, around 1.1 million Palestinians are facing catastrophic hunger. A “full-blown famine” is occurring, particularly in the north. The UN agency for Palestinian refugees announced on May 14 that around 450,000 Palestinians had been expelled from Rafah in southern Gaza over the past week. The Israeli army has been pouring into the city of Rafah, which is Hamas' last stronghold. In the northern Gaza Strip, at least 100,000 people have been evacuated so far under an Israeli evacuation order, Farhan Haq, a UN deputy spokesman, told reporters on May 13. The Israeli army is fighting Palestinian militants. According to health officials in the Gaza Strip, more than 35,000 people have been killed in the seven months of Israeli bombardment and ground attacks on Gaza, most of them women and children.

　　On May 14th 2024, Israeli citizens celebrated Independence Day by having barbecues in parks across the country, as they do every year. However, in 2024, the Independence Day celebrations were small and quiet due to the war in the Gaza Strip in Palestine. The Israel-Palestine War broke out on October 7th 2023, when Palestinian Hamas militants attacked southern Israel, killing around 1,200 people, mostly Israeli civilians, and abducting around 250. According to Israel, the militants are still holding around 100 hostages and more than 30 bodies.
