Following the devastating assault by Hamas, Israel has imposed complete siege on the Gaza Strip, which is controlled by the militant group. Samer Al-Kattaa, a Palestinian journalist living in Gaza, told Sputnik how Palestinians are enduring the blockade.
Hamas and other Palestinian militant groups on October 7 launched indiscriminate rocket attacks from Gaza on Israeli settlements, and ambushed Jewish civilians and soldiers in neighboring areas, taking hostages. The assault immediately exposed the Gaza Strip to Israeli retaliation, leaving almost 2.3 million peopleΒ trapped.
