Five months of fighting between Israel and Hamas have left much of Hamas-run Gaza in ruins and led to a worsening humanitarian catastrophe.

by ALEXX ALTMAN-DEVILBISS | The National DeskWASHINGTON, DC - MAY 19: House Republican Israel Caucus member Rep. Tim Walberg joins a news conference about the military conflict between Israel and Palestinians in Gaza outside the U.S. Capitol on May 19, 2021 in Washington, DC. GOP Rep. Tim Walberg, R-Mich., made some controversial comments about Gaza this week saying it should be over quickly "like Nagasaki and Hiroshima.

"My reasoning was the exact opposite of what is being reported: the quicker these wars end, the fewer innocent lives will be caught in the crossfire," Walberg added. During President Joe Biden's State of the Union address, he announced a plan for the U.S. military to helpon the Gaza coast aimed at increasing the flow of humanitarian aid into the beleaguered territory during the Israel-Hamas war.

Aid groups have said it has become nearly impossible to deliver supplies within most of Gaza because of the difficulty of coordinating with the Israeli military, the ongoing hostilities and the breakdown of public order.
