More people in Gaza are likely to die of hunger and famine than war, the chair of the Palestine Investment Fund, Mohammed Mutafa, has claimed today in Wednesday at the World Economic Forum. The first steps should be to bring food, medicine, water and electricity back to the besieged territory, Reuters reports he said... On Monday, the World Food Programme executive director said “people in Gaza risk dying of hunger just miles from trucks filled with food” due to a failure to allow aid into the territory.
There are between 350 and 450 miles of tunnels in Hamas' network beneath Gaza, The New York Times reports, citing senior Israeli defense officials' estimates.
Hamas fired at least 50 rockets at Israel from inside Gaza yesterday in the biggest barrage from the enclave in weeks. An Israeli strike on an alleged terrorist leader near Nablus in the West Bank raised fears of further violence there.
