Cairo and Israel have put Gaza strip under siege with the only exit Rafah closed, the densely populated area is home to 2.3 million Palestinians. On Monday Israel announced a full siege of the Gaza strip with streams of Israeli airstrikes raining on Gaza where Hamas militants occupy the most.
Since Monday, at least 700 people have lost their lives in Israel including 73 soldiers, with approximately 2400 others wounded. “At least 260 bodies were recovered at the site of a music festival near the border with Gaza,” said Israeli authorities. The death toll is expected to rise as the war escalates. Israeli soldiers removed the bodies of civilians, who were killed days earlier in an attack by Palestinian militants on this kibbutz near the border in Kfar Gaza.
