Almost two weeks after Hamas’s deadly attacks on Israel, Gaza is running out of essential resources, with food, medical aid and clean water widely inaccessible to more than a million Palestinian civilians.
“If we continue living in these circumstances, Gaza will turn into a mass grave,” a Palestinian merchant told CTV National News correspondent Heather Wright in Gaza this week., a border that separates Egypt from the Palestinian region, on Friday, according to Regional Emergency Director of the World Health Organization Richard Brennan. But security complications may stand in the way, he warned.
Palestinian-Canadian Salem Abuwarda, who lives in Canada, told CTV National News Thursday his 11-year-old daughter, his 15-year-old son, and his wife, all Canadian citizens, have been trying to exit Gaza for nearly two weeks."My son, he is a strong son, but yesterday morning when he called me, crying, he said, 'Dad, please help me. Dad, do something. Dad, call the government, do something. Dad, call my school, maybe my school can help me,'" Mouhammed said.
He mentioned reports from Israel that approximate more than 100 Israeli hostages, including elders and children, to be held captive by Hamas. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has not yet commented on this specific issue, saying he needs more time to evaluate the details of the blast.
