No power or fuel, no water coming out of the taps and food running dangerously low. The UN says the humanitarian situation in Gaza was already critical and is now “fast becoming untenable”. All this as the Israeli military warns it will strike Gaza City “very soon”.
Time is fast running out for the 1.1 million people in northern Gaza to comply with Israel’s order to evacuate. Hundreds of thousands have fled south, despite Hamas urging them to stay put.
Earlier, Israel said it was giving them safe passage along the two main roads for six hours.
There were reports that Egypt and Israel would let foreigners leave Gaza through the Rafah crossing, but it remained shut amid wrangling over a deal to allow aid in.
The Palestinian health ministry says Israeli air strikes have killed 2,215 people in Gaza – almost a third of them children and 324 in just the last day.
And 55 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank, in clashes with Israeli troops and attacks by settlers.
More than 1,300 Israelis were killed in last weekend’s brutal attack by Hamas – which is designated a terrorist group by many countries.
Israel says it’s confirmed that 126 civilians are being held hostage in Gaza.

Israel Forces Prepare to Strike Gaza from ‘Air, Sea, and Land’
As the tension escalates between Israel and Gaza, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are said to be making preparations for a potential strike on the besieged region. Reports suggest that the Israeli forces are fully engaged in planning and coordination for a comprehensive operation, employing tactics from the air, sea, and land.
The recent flare-up in violence between Israel and Gaza has left both sides on edge, with an increasing number of rockets being launched from the Gaza Strip towards Israeli territory, while Israel responds with airstrikes targeting Hamas installations. The clashes have raised concerns worldwide, and the international community has been calling for an immediate de-escalation to avoid further loss of life and damage to infrastructure.
In response to the ongoing attacks from Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made it clear that Israel will not tolerate aggression and will act to protect its citizens. Speaking to the nation, Netanyahu declared, “We will strike them with great force. We are prepared to deploy our forces on a scale that has not been seen since Operation Protective Edge in 2014.”
Israel’s military has been actively preparing for a potential large-scale operation, deploying additional troops, tanks, and artillery to the Gaza border in recent days. The IDF has stated that it is actively conducting intelligence gathering and precision targeting to ensure the effectiveness of any future strikes.
Israeli naval vessels have also joined the preparations, positioning themselves off the coast of Gaza. This move suggests that the IDF is prepared to launch missile strikes from the sea, targeting key Hamas installations. The naval presence is aimed at cutting off any potential weapons smuggling through maritime routes and disrupting the operations of militant groups in Gaza.
Additionally, Israel has intensified its airstrikes on Hamas targets in Gaza, hitting key positions and infrastructure. The IDF has released statements indicating that it has identified several high-value targets in Gaza, including weapons manufacturing sites, command centers, and underground tunnels. Israel has conducted hundreds of airstrikes in response to rocket fire from Gaza, further exacerbating the strained situation.
The potential for a ground offensive cannot be ruled out, as Israel continues to build up its forces along the Gaza-Israel border. While the IDF has not confirmed any plans for a ground invasion, military experts believe that Israel is preparing for various scenarios, including a possible ground operation to dismantle the Hamas infrastructure in Gaza.
The situation between Israel and Gaza remains highly volatile, with both sides showing no signs of backing down. However, the international community continues to call for a ceasefire and negotiations to prevent further bloodshed. The United Nations and regional actors have been warning against the devastating consequences of an all-out conflict and urge restraint among all parties involved.
It is crucial for both Israel and Gaza to prioritize the safety and well-being of their citizens. Escalating tensions and resorting to military force will only perpetuate the cycle of violence and suffering for innocent civilians caught in the conflict. The international community must exert diplomatic pressure on all parties to seek a peaceful resolution and prevent further escalation of the already dire situation.
It is complete genocide. Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel are war criminals. This needs to stop.
Vision: There were many men standing in the structure of Mecca. They were emotionless, standing like soldiers. They wore a green coat down their knees with Allah writings engraved in gold. They wore black loose pants and pointy shoes. They had a unique head piece. Their head piece was the shape of Mecca in black.
Their swords neatly rested across their body.
They were like standing inside a square looking at the building, hands down in a soldier pose. They were not worshiping.
I didn't see any other people around them.
Are these elite soldiers?
I can't find a picture of it.
Alll fault is of hamas
NO MONEY for Gaza!!!
Its the pupet master obama BIDEN . WOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP
There is absolutely reason to suspect that Israel just like Deng Xiaoping assign Hamas to launch suicide attack is looking for excuses to invade and occupy Gaza, and require International Military Court to conduct thorough investigation as soon as possible
Poor country who got crime over humanity
Arabic countries shouln't sell Palestin.
WAR AND PROPAGANDA. CIA FUNDS TERRORISTS.
This is so sad…. Why dont they vote Hamas out!! they are evil… They started this… so sad as there is a way to negotiate instead of killing. Israeli's also have had awful experiences…. its on both sides INNOCENT people affected by some young militants, evil militants….
Nuke Gaza
I pray that may continue to give peace between two countries
If only there was , I don't know, an event to galvanize us so that we would forget our differences like, I don't know, a fake alien invasion so that we could unite into a one world government. Maybe.
This is sad for the gaussian people but guess what who started yell at h a m m a s s
Does Netanyahu guarantee the life of the captives when entering the ground?
Is it guaranteed that there will be encroachments and the opening of other fronts for Israel?
Do the results he seeks ensure that the people can always live in peace?
You don't have to be a Muslim to support Palestine to stop airstrikes on Gaza , you just have to be a human being ..
I'm sincerely surprised by sympathisers of hamas/ Gaza for not showing the same state of minds for Israel's unprecedented attack by hamas which claimed over 340 lives at ego! It's being partial.
Hamas invited the catastrophe to the people and must be seriously blamed.
