Gaza Strip People - 2 Millions - No Food, Water, Electricity - Complete Blockade

[Joeyp]

Soon Gaza Strip people - 2 millions - will be without food, water, and electricity due to blockade from Israel side. What will be next then ? Max time for living without water is ~3 days. I do not know if Mediterranean sea water is ok for drinking, probably not. Some food and water of course can be imported from Egypt.

I'm wondering what did HAMAS expected when they started attack against Israel and when they fully depends on supply of food, water, electricity, fuel and etc from Israel. That Israel won't do anything and won't make harsh response? It's nothing surprising that we already hear some talks from them about possible ceasefire.
Worst part of this war that thousands of people in Gaza is affected and they have nowhere to go. Now they only can wait and try to survive another Israel rocket attack. On the other hand, how many of them celebrated mascare of civilians on Saturday when everything started, now probably it's not so fun anymore.
And no, Mediterranean sea water isn't drinkable without Desalination.

Hamas already knew the consequences of this invasion and they went ahead to engage in it. My heart only goes to the innocent citizens who know nothing about this invasion but a now suffering the consequences. But from what I have watched so far, it seems many people in Gaza support this action by Hamas. Many of them believe Israel deserves to feel the pain Gaza has been going through for a long time. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that this is just the beginning of the bombardment of Gaza which means that citizens will face more hardship and scarcity.

Many people will die of bullets and bombs and more will be killed by hunger and thirst. The best option for people in Gaza is to leave the place and move to neighboring countries. It is also a time for international organisations to step up their humanitarian activities for these innocent citizens. Children, women and civilian men should not be allowed to suffer and die for what they know nothing about.

That’s the thing, there are no winners in war. All we see is bloodshed, pain & misery. I’m sure there are people on both sides who feel there is justification for war but it’s never the answer. I hope there is a peaceful resolution soon & casualties are limited. As I said in another thread, images & stories coming out of Israel are very unpleasant. RIP to those who have lost their lives already.

I've watched a video from someone in the Palestine that has a lot of tanks on their roofs and not just their house but their entire neighborhood and explained that they don't have enough supply of water. And even there's enough supply, the problem is what you've said OP about Israel blocking the tubes and they won't any of it.

This is the real problem here, both of them will just suffer and whoever wins, gets what? Gets that they're stronger than the other? All of them are losing innocent people, children, women, men, elderly and all kinds of these people that have their own beliefs.

Are there conspiracies that Hamas has been funded by some superpower? This is just confusing people and there's no way that the problem between Israel and Palestine will be solved until they realize that they've got no more people to fight.

You know, bottled water is a thing?

See, Hamas did an extraordinarily stupid action. This was like Russia charging into Ukraine and destroying stuff and murdering thousands. But Israel is practically a developed country with its own military complex, which is capable of flattening them in weeks. What else did they expect to happen?

Iran is not a superpower country.

[aoluain]

So up until the recent HAMAS attack on Isreal the people of Gaza had very little anyway.
Israel already is in control of everything that was being imported ^{so they thought}, they have
been blockading Gaza since 2007.

So even though Israel has Air, Land and Sea control of Gaza the people there ^{generally speaking}
were able to arm themselves with rockets and guns. Life will be certainly more difficult but the
Palestinians are a tough and proud people.

As regards the border with Egypt, that is under blokade too, everything is controlled
there too.

I do not think this a correct and measured response by Israel. Just cutting the most essential supplies to a wide population is not a legitimate action in my view and I am not sure what is they expect that will happen as a result of that. They may hope this ends of a quick negotiation of hostages for water and food, but I think their enemy is not particularly concerned with the faith of the general population in the strip,

I think human corridors will be opened for civilians to leave through the Rafah border crossing. Those who stay will be risking their lives.

Israel will probably start a clearing operation in the Gaza Strip. They just softened the Hamas positions before going in.

They will probably go from the north and eliminate Hamas and their supporters.

[OgNasty]

Watching the video of Israeli soldiers shutting off water to the Gaza Strip was heartbreaking. Knowing that so many innocent people are going to be without water and dying of thirst as a result of this conflict is terrible. I don’t know what Hamas was thinking or what their plan is going forward, but I know there will be no winners.

[Hispo]

As far as I understand, the water of the Mediterranean sea is salty, so it is not suitable for comsuption.
I have read about the collective punishment people in the Gaza strip are going to suffer, which is unfair, keeping in mind many of them are civilans who may have no political affiliation with Hamas.

I agree with OgNasty, regardless of the political opinion we could have on those conflict, this is a battle which will likely have no winners... truly Heartbreaking  what some innocent people have to go through...

It is that a serious question?

you can search cheaps method for Desalination, you can do that even with plastic bottles

I'm not saying that's right response and I'm not justifying what Israel is doing. Such blockade can be called as genocide. But what did HAMAS expected when they made attack? That Israel will just tell that they're deeply concerned? Such harsh response was something expected.
HAMAS keep hundreds of Isreael and foreign people as hostages, but it doesn't looks that Israel is much concerned about saving them.

There is lot of tunnels in Gaza, leading to Egypt which were used to smuggle weapons and various good and bypass blockade in such way.

I think human corridors will be opened for civilians to leave through the Rafah border crossing. Those who stay will be risking their lives.

I doubt about that after Israel madde attacks on Rafah border crossing:

I am in shock, why did Palestine attack Israel with such force when knowing that Israel is way more advanced and has the US as its back? I don't judge which side is right, I don't talk in favor of Israel or Palestine, I just don't understand what's the point of attack if you know the counter attack will brutally affect your whole population?

Japan had the most brutal soldiers in WW2, they would still continue war after the nuclear weapon explosion if their emperor would command them but c'mon, it would kill all Japanese. Was the situation between Palestine and Israel so severe that it was time of all-in for Palestine?

As far as I understand, the water of the Mediterranean sea is salty, so it is not suitable for comsuption.

Absolutely every see is salty man.

War has its rules too, but Israel kills red cross people and uses genocidal language, that's far from self-defense and counter attack. A country as powerful as Israel (for palestine) can end this without genocide. Oh my, Palestine shouldn't have done this, they also do terrible things, shouldn't have started this war in the first place, now both sides show their inhumanity at its best.

[BADecker]

WW2 wasn't enough. The Jewish Holocaust was way too small. The NEW 'Hitler' is out to kill off as many Jews as he can.

Who was that you said?

The NEW Hitler

Iran is not a superpower country.

Is it only them that supports Hamas?

That's the question that many have thought of. With advancement of Israel in terms of their military and defense, they should have detected the attack before it even touches their land.

But that didn't happen and was late in seeing it.

I don't judge which side is right, I don't talk in favor of Israel or Palestine, I just don't understand what's the point of attack if you know the counter attack will brutally affect your whole population?

It's best to check the history between the two. It was just this time that made me dive into the history of these two and this video is what I've found to be short and precise: History of Israel-Palestine Conflict

Back in during the World war II, japanese soldiers in well pushed to battle by their desire for their empire to blossom and serve their emperor. There were even youth soldiers which consider a big honor to die as kamikaze pilots and many others preferred to end their own life than seeing their nation losing the war.

With Hamas is a bit similar, their fighters are trained and mentally prepared to die for their cause, those who do are told to be heros and deserving of an eternal rest and life, since to them defeat is not an option, then decide to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the organization. They do not care about the civilans who just want to be left alone, of anything they only care civilians can be recruited later...

[edmundduke]

The whole situation there is a mess and has been for a long long time. What really gets tho is the virtue signaling of the neighbouring arab states, they like to always say how Israel is hurting the Gaza strip but they never do anything to help the situation.
Juts like with the current blockade, i mean, Egypt is right there. Why dont they provide power and water if they are so concerned. Im sure all the oil powers could easily fund it and they wouldnt even feel it

[BADecker]

In other words, the Biden administration, who supplies Ukraine with money and weapons, indirectly supplied the Hamas with money and weapons for the invasion. And then Biden, through the other side of his mouth, proclaimed that what the Hamas did was terrible, and that Israel should fight back - http://www.freedomsphoenix.com/News/352010-2023-10-10-this-is-an-act-of-sheer-evil-biden-on-israel.htm.


Hamas Acknowledges Ukraine for Weapon Supply: Unmasking the Illicit Arms Trade


https://bnn.network/world/ukraine/hamas-acknowledges-ukraine-for-weapon-supply-unmasking-the-illicit-arms-trade/
This declaration, broadcasted on Middle Eastern platforms, focuses on the underground arms trade and Ukraine's involvement in conflict-driven regions. The unfolding situation necessitates a comprehensive review of the influential factors.

Ukraine's Unexpected Role

Recent hostilities initiated by Hamas against Israel have been noteworthy, not solely due to the heightened aggression, but also because of queries about the origin of the weapons employed. The mystery was unraveled when Hamas recognized Ukraine's contribution in providing them with arms, particularly RPGs. This revelation has amplified concerns regarding Ukraine's part in arming combat zones and the potency of global arms regulation.

The distribution of arms to non-sovereign entities like Hamas underscores the pressing requirement for global collaboration to halt the arms proliferation to militant groups. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has denounced the terror attack, extended support to Israel, and upheld Israel's right to self-defense. Yet, these peace gestures starkly differ from the circulating arms trade accusations.
