Gaza border remains closed for aid; water and fuel shortages worsen

As diplomatic efforts for a cease-fire falter, the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip worsens. Over half a million people have fled their homes due to Israeli airstrikes and shortages of vital resources like water and fuel. The Biden administration has warned Iran against escalation and has sent aircraft carriers and warplanes to the region. Israel has not announced when an invasion could begin, but President Biden has urged against reoccupying Gaza while endorsing the goal of destroying Hamas.
