After Israel imposed a complete blockade of Gaza in response to Hamas’s surprise attack, a humanitarian crisis is swiftly unfolding in Gaza, with stranded residents facing a shortage of essential items. At the same time, the death toll from the clashes crossed 2,000.
The Gaza Strip has been hit by airstrikes since the imposition of a complete siege of the besieged territory, with Israeli military fighter jets hitting more than 200 targets overnight in a neighbourhood of Gaza City that it said had been used by Hamas to launch its unprecedented wave of attacks.
