@HebrideanHecate "There is now little hope of leaving the territory, after Israeli crossings were shut and Egypt was forced to close its only crossing point with Gaza due to nearby air strikes."

Where are they going to go? Gaza is trapped by the Mediterranean Sea on one side, Israel on the other side, and Egypt to the south. It has been called an "open air prison" because it's surrounded by a huge "security fence" that Israel controls. Israel controls everything that comes and goes into Gaza. Gaza is dependent on Israel for its water, electricity, telecommunications, and other utilities Gaza is a densely occupied Palestinian territory.

In the name of all that is holy, the women and children should be able to flee. There should have been some safe passage for women, kids, elderly, and disabled before Israel starting bombing the shit out of Gaza.

I do NOT support Hamas. I condemn Hamas for what it has done, but starving innocent people is morally wrong.

"Gaza's only power plant has run out of fuel, and medical and food supplies are dwindling, after another night which saw hundreds scramble onto the streets to flee relentless air strikes.

The situation for 2.3 million people in Gaza is increasingly desperate, with no way of leaving the tiny territory.

The only power station in Gaza stopped operating completely on Wednesday at 14:00 local time (11:00 GMT), authorities say.

Israel cut essential supplies, including fuel, to the sealed-off territory on Monday following a violent incursion by Hamas militants."
