Now, their situation looks bleak again, after Israeli troops seized the Rafah border crossing - cutting off a vital aid route into Gaza.
Yesterday, the Israel Defence Forces ordered people in eastern Rafah to move to what it called an "expanded humanitarian zone" in Al Mawasi, ahead of a limited ground invasion.
After striking targets in eastern Rafah overnight, Israel announced that its troops had taken control of the Gaza side of the Rafah crossing – the only one it did not control. Israel has also imposed a naval blockade on Gaza for years.
The UN says the shutting of the two southern crossings starves Gaza of the scant humanitarian aid it had been receiving - as very little is getting through the recently reopened Erez Crossing.

people in tents had possibly made some sort of life, knew where to get water and food from the aid workers and were surving. now, they are moving in the dark into an unfamiliar area, where aid will have to reestablish and people will have to find their new routine. imagine having to explain this to scared children who are noticibly thin starving, that life is about to get harder.

This is a nightmare.
-
No where to go. Scared, tired, and no humanitarian aid. 50% of buildings destroyed. No where to pitch tents and no utilities. Rubbish , rubble and illness everywhere.

They never ask 'what do you think about the attack on October 2023? Do you want Hamas to go? Do you support thrm? Would you not like a better government that would bring peace with Isreal and see the present blockade lifted ?

This is a genocide against an indigenous people. Not a war between Israel and "hamas".

They never seem to get the destruction of the tunnels on video. They show all the homes, hospitals, schools, warehouses and bakeries, but never any of these alleged miles of tunnels.

Running over “I love Gaza” by tank says it all. Note to IDF: Gaza is NOT Hamas

I have lost all faith in the integrity of western leaders
