Israeli airstrikes on Gaza last night reportedly killed people, including children, and injured more than one hundred. Rockets launched from Gaza also struck southern Israel, reportedly killing two and injuring 10 people. The death toll is rising rapidly, and more than a quarter of fatalities and injuries over the past few days are children.
Hundreds of homes and more than 30 schools have been damaged by the bombing in Gaza so far, as well as factories and health facilities. Airstrikes have damaged the electricity network, so power is only available a few hours a day and is likely to completely run out soon. Water supplies to around 500,000 people have been disrupted as a result.
A ground offensive in Gaza would greatly increase humanitarian suffering and force hundreds of thousands of people to flee their homes, with nowhere safe to go. The blockade – which severely restricts the movement of people and goods in and out of Gaza – means that people are trapped and unable to escape any further escalation.
