Gaza in the state of emergency: bloody return of war and escape fears!

In the Gaza Strip, Israeli attacks have led to a dramatic escalation. According to reports from the health authority controlled by Hamas, over 500 people were killed and more than 130 more injured when the Israeli army resumed their attacks on Tuesday morning and ended the ceasefire that started in January. There is a lot of fear in the community, while many Palestinians are forced to flee from their hometowns. The region also suffers from rapidly increasing food prices, as the Palestinian news agency Wafa reports, which reports that a kilogram of sugar now costs almost nine euros, which further tightens the already tense humanitarian Situation, as vienna.at reported.

Israel increases offensive in the Gaza Strip

After extensive air strikes, Israeli floor troops penetrated deeper into the Gaza Strip on Wednesday and took over parts of the important Netzarim corridor, which symbolizes the conflict between the north and south of the Gaza Strip. According to reports, these have been the most important soil operations since the end of the ceasefire. Israeli military leadership has stated that these "targeted soil activities" should serve to create a "partial buffer zone" and that their control in the Netzarim corridor has been significantly increased. According to the GAZA health authority, over 400 people have been killed in air raids since Tuesday, but without distinction between civilians and fighters, such as The New York Times reported.
