Fear & Despair In Gaza

Some Palestinians have begun to leave Gaza City, in search of safety. But they have nowhere to go.

Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports from Gaza City.

The Israeli government says it is going to seize control of Gaza City, install a different administration, and try to eliminate Hamas. Benjamin "The Butcher" Netanyahu earlier said Israel planned to take over the entire Strip. The Israeli military already controls around 80% of Gaza. The more than two million people living there have been bombed, starved, repeatedly displaced, and forced into temporary shelters. So why did Israel make this announcement now? Is the "The Butcher" trying to appease the "Nazi" right-wing members of his cabinet? Or is "The Butcher" trying to detract international condemnation of the man-made hunger crisis that he created?
