Thousands of people broke into aid warehouses in Gaza to take food and "basic survival items".
Thousands of people broke into aid warehouses in Gaza to take food and "basic survival items", a UN agency said on Sunday, in a mark of growing desperation and the breakdown of public order three weeks into the war between, three weeks after Hamas launched a brutal incursion into Israel. The widening ground offensive came as Israel pounded the territory from air, land and sea.
"Reaching the hospital has become increasingly difficult," Mahmoud al-Sawah, who is sheltering in the hospital, said over the phone. "It seems they want to cut off the area." Another Gaza City resident, Abdallah Sayed, said the Israeli bombing over the past two days was "the most violent and intense" since the war started.
Little is known about Hamas' tunnels and other infrastructure, and the claims could not be independently verified. Hamas' government dismissed the allegations as "lies" and said they were "a precursor for striking this facility". Hamas' top leader in Gaza, Yehia Sinwar, said Palestinian militants "are ready immediately" to release all hostages if Israel releases all of the thousands of Palestinians held in its prisons. Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, an Israeli military spokesman, dismissed the offer as "psychological terror".
Israelis light candles at a vigil paying tribute to the victims of the unprecedented deadly Hamas attack on southern Israel on October 7. The Palestinian death toll in Gaza rose Saturday to just more than 7700 people since the war began, with 377 deaths reported since late Friday, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. Most of those killed have been women and minors, the ministry said.
