Israel plans on concentrating Palestinians into isolated camps within Gaza after it takes over 75% of the territory, luring Palestinians into those zones by using aid as bait.
After hours of waiting under the scorching sun, starving Palestinians stormed the militarized aid distribution point run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. Live fire was reportedly opened on the crowd, as people struggled to get their hands on aid.
Whether it’s total conquest or managed containment, Israel doesn’t have a single grand strategy for Gaza, but it uses the possibility of both to prolong the war.

International aid organizations are calling an Israeli-U.S. plan to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza a “politicized sham” and a “blueprint for ethnic cleansing.” Meanwhile, the UN warns 14,000 babies could die within days if Gaza does not receive aid.
The war in Gaza is not only the story of rubble and airstrikes. It is the story of the girl getting her period under bombardment, the mother bleeding in silence and miscarrying on cold floors or giving birth under drones.

Every time someone asks, “How are you?” I feel a sharp twist inside. That simple question drags me back into a place I desperately try to avoid. The truth is, I am not fine. And neither is anyone else in Gaza.
I was with Shireen Abu Akleh when she was murdered on May 11, 2022. The Palestinian resistance in Jenin killed her murderer, but I find myself asking, was justice served, or did he escape accountability?
