Well at least Hamas has learned that they can't keep using there people as shields.
The food being sold in the market, from where is it sorced?
I do not see Russia caring for Ukrainian civilians and trying to avoid killing them. My country civilians and authorities were waiting at the border with Ukraine with food, shelter, phones, clothes, toys for kids and busses to leave to other areas of the country while the government was giving them daily money allowance as refugees. What are the muslim countries doing for people in Gaza? Throwing some air ”humanitarian aid”?
Life is not as bad in Rafa as Al Jazeera portrays
The whole world gives them food somehow they still short with supplies, another Hamas propaganda….
European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said on Saturday that the Israeli military's shooting of civilians trying to get food is unacceptable.😮😮
🤩😍
Too hungry to release hostages and turn Hamas terrorists and their supporers over to Israel?
So will Hamas finally surrender and release the hostages when the food runs out?
They just have to kick out Hamas and free the hostages and it will all be over. It is that simple.
Buying and selling? Humanitarian assistance? Shouldn’t they be simply distributing the food and supplies? Helping each other?
If by the sea why can't they throw out a fish net or spear fish for them ???
I'm sure there are fish out there in that water. Fish be a good source of food
Feel like dancing now? Like they were doing on october 7.
First upall hungry in this short supply don't have you shame on this news
