Israel approved on Monday plans to completely take over the Gaza Strip and remain there indefinitely, further expanding its operations in the enclave.
The plan is set to again push hundreds of thousands of people to southern Gaza and exacerbate the humanitarian crisis taking place. Israel halted the entry of all humanitarian aid to Gaza over two months ago since ending the ceasefire with Hamas, including food, water and fuel. Widespread hunger is being reported in Gaza and looting has increased as people scramble to find sustenance.
