Gaza’s 2.3 million civilians are facing a deepening struggle for food, water and safety as an Israeli military offensive looms against Hamas militants
Gaza’s 2.3 million civilians faced a deepening struggle for food, water and safety Sunday and braced for a looming invasion a week after Hamas militants launched a deadly assault on Israel. While hundreds of thousands of Gaza residents sought to heed Israel’s order to evacuate roughly the northern half of the territory, others huddled at hospitals in the north. Israeli forces, supported by a growing deployment of U.S.
was moving a second carrier strike group, the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, to the eastern Mediterranean, in a show of force meant to deter any allies of Iranian-backed Hamas from seeking to widen the war. Palestinian militants have fired more than 5,500 rockets into Israel since the fighting erupted, the Israeli military said. Hamas remained defiant. In a televised speech Saturday, Ismail Haniyeh, a top official, said that “all the massacres” will not break the Palestinian people.
