Battle has seethed in Gaza driving a great number of Palestinians to escape looking for shelter, after Qatar said Hamas had given support to a hostage-prisoner exchange that would stop its war with Israel, AFP reports.
The Hamas press office announced Israeli air and artillery bombardment around Khan Younis — southern Gaza's main city and the focal point of ongoing war.
Winter storms and heavy downpour likewise beat the devastated coastal territory, with the UN agency for Palestinian refugees UNRWA said via social media: "Gaza is being choked and the world appears to have lost its humanity."
