U.N. agencies said on Tuesday the two main crossings into the southern Gaza Strip remained shut, virtually cutting off the Palestinian enclave from outside aid with few stocks positioned inside.

How many refugees can Egypt or Jordan realistically take? Are they at least willing to take the children?
These two nations right now are likely most capable of saving as many lives as possible, given their proximity. Is something like this even on the table?
Why doesn’t Israel take the refugees? They claim that they’re targeting only hamas after all and that they care a lot about innocents, so it shouldn’t be a problem, right?

how’s that shitty dock going?

And they have averted it.
this is great news, let me just tell all the dead children
Its been staved off since Hamas lowered food prices. You know, because of all the free aid thats been coming in which Hamas takes and then makes the Palestinians buy from them. Just another reminder that nothing about this situation is black and white.
