Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has instructed the military to prepare to build a “humanitarian city” in Gaza that critics describe as a “concentration camp.”

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Shifa Hospital was once the cornerstone of the health system in the Gaza Strip. Now, after 21 months of war and two major Israeli raids, it barely functions.

Israel has created “green zones” and “red zones” to distinguish between safe and dangerous areas. There’s little difference.

A senior Israeli official predicts Israel and Hamas will come to a ceasefire in the "next week or two," a longer timeframe than previously expected. Until a ceasefire can be reached, fighting goes on and Israel continues its airstrikes.

Israel’s defense minister said he told the military to advance plans for what he called a “humanitarian city” built on the ruins of Rafah in southern Gaza, according to reports in Israeli media.

When the onetime director of a Gaza Strip hospital was killed by an Israeli airstrike, he joined a growing list of prominent Palestinian doctors who have died during 21 months of war that has devastated the territory’s health system.

Cash is the lifeblood of the Gaza Strip's shattered economy, and like all other necessities in this war-torn territory — food, fuel, medicine — it is in extremely short supply.
