Israel and Gaza
It's extremely difficult to imagine how this will unfold without inflicting even further excruciating suffering on civilian population in Gaza. And there are already satellite images that show that whilst many have fled Gaza City ahead of the operation, many have remained in shelters and tents. And there is a cost aspect to it as well in terms of what it means to be uprooted once more and finding safety and refuge in the cost of purchasing a tent to house your family... The IDF has already said that it could take weeks if not months to... To control Gaza City and then to clear it, which is a rather ominous word."
