'Gaza is running dry,' and families are turning to unsafe water, the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees said on Monday. The crisis comes as masses of people try to flee northern Gaza.
A Palestinian man looks down at a building destroyed in an Israeli airstrike in the Rafah refugee camp in the southern Gaza Strip on Monday.
Hospitals in Gaza, which have been inundated with roughly 9,000 people wounded in Israeli attacks, only have enough fuel to keep their generators running through Monday night, theLosing electricity would plunge the hospitals into a new crisis as life support and other systems are shut down — even as more of the injured and dead continue to be brought in.
The border closed on Tuesday because of Israel's airstrikes on the Gaza side. Israel says there's no cease-fire deal in place to open the crossing; the U.S. says it's working on it."We're putting in place — with the United Nations, with Egypt, with Israel, with others — the mechanism by which to get the assistance in and to get it to the people who need it," he said.
On Monday, Blinken met with Israeli President Isaac Herzog to reiterate U.S. support for Israel's right to defend itself from Hamas' terrorism. He reaffirmed U.S. commitment to provide Israel with the assistance it needs to protect its citizens. The Israeli military dropped leaflets from the sky, telling people in northern Gaza to leave their homes. Many of the hundreds of thousands who did so traveled by foot, walking for miles. Mothers were seen carrying their babies as they headed south, with no guarantee of safety at the other end of their trek.
