Israel has agreed to restore water supply in parts of south Gaza in the wake of thousands of people along with their families move towards safety. Israel Energy Minister on Sunday said that decision was taken to renew water supply to parts of southern Gaza. The decision was agreed between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and United States President Joe Biden.

Meanwhile, the Israel troops await nod from the government for ground attack. Over 30,000 Israeli soldiers were deployed along the Gaza border. Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) had said that they are planning a ‘significant operation’ with at least 10,000 soldiers advancing towards Gaza.

Ahead of the ground attack, staff and personnel working with the United Nations agency said that the situation in Gaza Strip is ‘catastrophic’.

"Please save Gaza, I beg you, save Gaza. It's dying. It's dying. It's dying, Rawya Halas, head of the UNRWA shelter in Khan Younis, Gaza, said in a video posted by UNRWA on X.

"The situation we are in now is unprecedented and cannot be described with words,” Halas said in the video adding that 15,000 Palestinian refugees are in the shelter. "They left their homes without food or drink,” she said.

Since the Hamas rained down 5,000 rockets towards Israel on October 7, the age old conflict between Israel-Palestine escalated to be one of its deadliest battle in recent times.

With strikes and counterstrikes between Israel and Gaza intensifying, Palestinians are caught in the middle struggling to get to a safe place. Fear of death looms everyone leaving their homes with ‘safe routes’ being unsafe with repeated Israeli airstrikes. The ongoing attacks had already claimed around 4,000 lives from both sides.

Even as the diplomacy talks are going on with United States meeting the Middle-East leaders, nothings seems to be stopping Israel from launching its ground offensive attacks.
