Israel’s Retaliatory Air Strikes Cause Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza
Following Hamas’s surprise attack that resulted in the death of 1,300 people in Israel and thousands more injured, Israel continues to retaliate with air strikes in Gaza, causing a devastating humanitarian crisis. The Palestinian Ministry of Health reports that an additional 1,400 people have been killed in Gaza since the initial attack.
Gaza is currently facing a severe humanitarian crisis, with Israel cutting off electricity supply to the region. Hospitals are running out of fuel to power their generators, further exacerbating the situation. The UN’s World Food Program has also warned that food and water supplies in the region are rapidly depleting.
As US Secretary of State Antony Blinken traveled to Israel to express unwavering support, he stressed the importance of taking every precaution to avoid harming civilians. Meanwhile, Hamas has taken at least 150 hostages, including children and the elderly, holding them captive in Gaza’s underground cellars and tunnels. Concerns are high that these hostages may still be at risk from Israel’s ongoing air strikes.
Michael Milstein, a senior analyst at the Institute for Policy and Strategy at Israel’s Reichman University, described the situation as the most challenging hostage crisis in Israel’s history. The gravity of the crisis cannot be understated.
