Israel launches new military operations into Gaza, displacing 70,000

In the past week Israel has issued several new evacution orders for parts of Gaza as it launches new military operations further into the north, according to the UN. That has displaced an estimated 70,000 people. As eyes turn to Lebanon and the ground offensive there, Gaza is still facing bombardment from air, sea and land, more than year on from Hamas's deadly attack on Israel. Gaza remains in the grips of a humanitarian crisis.Last month saw the lowest levels of commerical and humaniatarian supplies entering the strip since March this year.The United Nations estimates 68% of cropland in Gaza has been damaged, increasing the immiment risk of famine and putting future food production at risk.
