The Israeli army has continued its offensive in Gaza despite international pressure for a ceasefire. They found a massive Hamas tunnel near the border crossing at Erez, large enough for small vehicles. The tunnel cost millions and took years to construct, including rails, electricity, drainage, and a communications network. It was part of a vast four-kilometer system led by Hamas leader Mohammad Sinwar’s brother. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu vowed to fight until the end, despite calls for a ceasefire from France, the UK, Germany, and US President Joe Biden. The conflict has resulted in thousands of deaths and has left much of Gaza in ruins, with around 1.9 million displaced and severe shortages of food and water. The World Health Organization described the largest hospital in Gaza as a “bloodbath” with a severe shortage of resources.
