The other reality in the Gaza Strip: the hopeless Palestinians in the middle of the shells

Many killed, thousands injured and dozens taken hostage by Israeli citizens. But what is the other reality of this chaotic situation in the Gaza Strip?

It is a war between Israel and Hamas, but the Palestinians, like other Israeli civilians, are not to blame for the tension between the parties. One side seeks complete control of Palestinian lands by any means, the other seeks revenge by taking people captive and shedding blood.

Israel has launched a wave of airstrikes and imposed a "total siege" on the Gaza Strip, cutting off electricity, food, water and gas to 2.3 million residents, most of whom are Palestinians.

On the other hand, Hamas has warned that it will start broadcasting videos of hostage executions if Israel deals with 'innocent civilians'.

The citizens of the Gaza Strip find themselves in the middle of it all, completely hopeless.

The Israel Defense Forces say they hit 130 targets in Gaza within three hours yesterday morning. The country's military forces are on war alert after the rocket attack, sending about a thousand troops to Gaza.

While the international media say that more than 1,500 people were killed in total, there is still no exact breakdown of how many of them are Israelis and how many are Palestinians.

Palestinian authorities say 560 of their own people have been killed. According to the United Nations, since 2008, 6,400 Palestinians and 300 Israelis have been killed in bombings, not including the latest victims.

Hundreds of apartments and houses have been destroyed in the Gaza Strip, including refugee camps, leaving more than 123,000 people homeless. More than 73,000 others have taken shelter in schools, while hospitals do not have enough capacity to treat the wounded. Gaza's main hospital, Beit Hanoun Hospital, has been damaged and is now out of service after Israeli forces have repeatedly targeted the area, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health.

A major communications center in Gaza has also been destroyed by airstrikes, making it difficult to access the Internet or make phone calls.

Unlike Israel, the Gaza Strip has no air raid sirens or bomb shelters.

"Hospitals are overcrowded with injured people, there is a shortage of medicine and medical supplies, and there is a shortage of fuel for generators. Ambulances cannot be used," sources told foreign media.

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said all food, fuel, electricity and other necessities will be blocked to the Gaza Strip.

It is the latest battle in the long-running Israel-Palestine conflict fueled by centuries-old land disputes, including Israel's occupation of the Palestinian territories of East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza in the 1960s and the takeover of Palestine by Hamas in the 2000s that led to in a blockade imposed by neighboring Israel and Egypt in 2007.

Human rights organizations are concerned that this situation will worsen the humanitarian crisis in the Palestinian territories.

According to the United Nations, 81% of the population in Gaza lives in poverty. They have shortages in food, clean water and electricity.
