YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWe speak with two Palestinians in Gaza City about Israel's devastating bombing campaign while blocking all food, water and fuel from entering the besieged territory. The U.N. reports that all of Gaza's 13 hospitals are only partially operational due to a lack of fuel and medical supplies as the International Red Cross warns "hospitals are going to be turned into graveyards." The territory's only power plant has stopped operating due to a lack of fuel, yet Israeli authorities are vowing to continue the siege of Gaza until Hamas releases the over 100 hostages it seized during its unprecedented attack on Saturday. Yousef Hammash, working with the Norwegian Refugee Council, says humanitarian workers "cannot secure ourselves to start to deliver assistance for the others" and warns locals barely have time to think about political responses as resources run out. "Within days, we will have nothing in Gaza." While U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken plans to meet with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toha asks, "Why don't they come here and listen to us?" He adds that "Gaza has been the largest open-air prison in the world," but with the closure of the passage between Gaza and Egypt, "now it has become a prison cell with no window."
