Israel ordered new evacuations in Gaza City last Sunday, indicating that two months after claiming victory, it still faces stubborn resistance in areas thought to be cleared.
The latest UNICEF report reveals a growing humanitarian crisis, especially in Gaza’s isolated north – one of the most devastated regions. One in six children suffer from acute malnutrition amidst the choking blockade.
